My copy has the exact same packaging as this edition Japan - Oil On Canvas, BUT the CD inside is different. The CD is the same as Japan - Oil On Canvas (Matrix / Runout: CDVD-2513 33 A1, Matrix / Runout: MASTERED BY DADC AUSTRIA, and it has all 15 tracks too). I know I bought it like this in the early 90s. Could it be possible that (left over) CD covers from this version were filled with the 15 track CD, once that became available? Or is mine a new, separate edition all together?

I always rather liked Japan, and it is odd now to look back and remember the TV News reports asking, in the same way as for Boy George, whether David Sylvian was a man or a woman. This is a live album that was recorded on their last tour, 1982, and released in 1983 after the group hand split up. It is sort of semi-live as I think a lot of the parts were re-recorded afterwards and mixed in. Live albums are usually a best of, this one contains three new tracks though, “Oil on Canvas”, “Voices Raised in Welcome, Hands Held in Prayer” and “Temple of Dawn”, all of which are instrumentals and weren’t live at all. My copy is a double in a gate fold sleeve.

The New Zealand pressing that we have does not mention RTC on the label or artwork.

Hello everyone, I am new to this site as of today and this is my first posting, so please bear with me when I inevitably spout complete nonsense, use entirely the wrong terminology and completely miss the point at regular intervals along the way.I have U.K. releases of Exorcising Ghosts on both CD and vinyl, and both formats quote ‘VGDCD 3510’, with ‘0777 7 86728 2 1’ printed directly underneath this on the CD itself, although I see no mention of it anywhere on the LP.The front cover of the LP has a diamond-shaped silver sticker attached in the top-right corner with gold coloured text that reads, ‘contains limited edition lyrics sheet of “Quiet Life”, “Gentlemen Take Polaroids” &”Tin Drum” albums’, which indeed it did and still does, and ‘vgd3510’ is quoted underneath this. Plus, ’© THIS COMPILATION VIRGIN RECORDS LTD’ is also stated on both copies with absolutely no mention of RTC to be seen anywhere.I hope this information is of some help and have a related anecdote some of you might find faintly interesting if you wish me to post it, but if not then please rest assured you will not be missing much.
