Notes

Scarce Gold/Silver/Bronze cover variation

This version, like most original Synchronicity pressings, was issued on "KC-600 Audiophile Vinyl", and while appearing black, has a translucent PURPLE characteristic when held to light. Other versions may look Brown/Gold

The Gold/Silver/Bronze cover variation come with only one documented photo arrangement, as shown here. The "clock" image is at top left under the bands name, with skeleton / Sting images across bottom band. This photo arrangement was also used for one variation in each of the three color bands variations: BRY, RYB, and YBR. It was also used for the only record club photo pattern. However it not used as one of the 6 black and white covers without color bands.

Issued with Custom Printed Lyric Inner-Sleeve. Also includes Around The World mail-order form.

First Pressings have MASTERDISK Stampers in the Dead Wax with Bob Ludwig's RL Mastering Signature beside the stampers.

This version does not have a "delta number" in the runouts.

    It’s crazy that a record that is this rare is sold for so little. I’m dumbfounded…
