Notes

Note this is the initial German release WITHOUT 'Bass Clef' on labels.
Subsequent issues may have that 'Bass Clef' but that means they are represses or even reissues > Babylon By Bus.
Earlier represses had '79' stamped in runouts but no 'Bass Clef' > Babylon By Bus.

Recorded live in Paris, Copenhagen, London & Amsterdam.
Die-cut sleeve with embossed lettering.
Incl. foldout insert/poster.

Some initial promotional copies had perforated but uncut windows on cover front.
But not all of these promotional copies came with foldout insert/poster.

Manufacturing variations: although the label text and its format should be exactly the same, there might be some variations of this release.
For more descriptive information see images of this release.
