    Local Hero originally was released on LP and cassette only. A 1984 Mercury CD sampler references to "Going home" taken from the album, 811 038-1, indicating an LP release.
    A different Philips/Phonogram CD sampler from 1985 references "Local hero" already as a CD release.
    So I guess Local Hero was released on CD not earlier than 1984. This is in line with the the blue swilr Vertigo labels the first CDs received, as that blue swirl Vertigo was used up until 85 or so.

      I have a copy of this which is VERL 4 (811 038-1) on the sleeve, which is a Vertigo issue. Side A has the matrix VERL 4 A-1C-1-1 and Side B VERL 4 B-1C-1-1. The label states made in England. BUT!! - the label on the A Side is for Bon Jovi 1984 album, VERL 14. Anyone identify what's going on here? I'm guessing it was a repress, wrong label stuck on, but am surprised the matrix numbers don't appear on this site
