Notes

Pre-"She Blinded Me With Science" version. Has 2 rare tracks: "Leipzig" and "Urges" (both from 1981), the 7" version of "Airwaves", plus the original, rock version of "Radio Silence". The center label contains the catalog number 12R6051 screened in a decorative typeface next to the Venice In Peril logo. That number belongs to the 1981 UK 12" of 'Europa and the Pirate Twins', on the Parlophone label. The front sleeve photo for this album originally appeared on that single.

Recorded at Tapestry Studios, London, Aosis Studios, London & Playground Studios, London.

Release date note: This initial issue of the album (Harvest ST-12203) was reviewed in the June 5, 1982 issue of Billboard magazine.
