Notes

Glossy cover
Embossed non-ink PRS Hannover stamp on rear sleeve.
The vinyl for this version was made in Holland and housed in a sleeve printed in Hannover for the German market.

An earlier version of Hallowed Ground has almost identical runouts, but omits the PRS stamp on rear sleeve.
Another earlier version of Hallowed Ground does have the stamp, too, but omits the price code.

First cat# on rear sleeve and spine.
Second cat# on labels.

Recorded at Secret Sound Studio, New York City, January 1984
