Label:  Sony

The LP was recorded in february 1977 on CBS Records. For nearly two years the only way for fans in the United States to acquire a copy was as an import as it wasn’t released in this country until 1979. When it was finally released domestically however, the track listing was drastically changed. Songs were removed and replaced with different songs. The only thing that remained the same was the cover art. The label felt that the album wasn’t “radio-friendly” enough so they replaced some of the original songs with newer b-sides and used a different version of  "white riot". For many americans who didn’t know about or have access to an import version, this was the only version of the album they knew or grew up with. The cover artwork was designed by Polish artist Rosław Szaybo .
