Recorded at Air Studios, London, except for All Tomorrows Parties recorded at DJM Studios, London.
This release has 'STEREO" on the spine, whereas a later repressed edition doesn't. The first reissues have a lighter sleeve and a red Japan logo. The later repressed edition has slightly different artwork: Quiet Life, the image is darker and grainier, and the Japan logo is almost pink.
[ERRATUM]:
Track B2 All Tomorrows Parties is printed correctly on the sleeve; however, on the label, it is printed incorrectly as All Tomorrow's Parties
