Notes
℗ 1978 Ariola RecordsMade in England
Printed in England by Robor Limited
Original vinyl copies released in the UK and Europe included either a 2 sided lyric sheet or an inner sleeve. There were two releases in the UK which both used the same catalogue number: AHAL 8004. One was manufactured in the UK with Ariola Hansa 'Rainbow' labels and was pressed on thick vinyl. The other, in Germany which had black/ silver labels; Adolescent Sex which was pressed using thinner quality vinyl. Furthermore, the sleeve produced in Germany appears to have used the German 'Hansa International' sleeve but with the German catalogue number removed and replaced with the UK number, AHAL 8004.
This is the UK pressing. Select Adolescent Sex to view the version which was pressed in Germany with 'black/ silver' Hansa labels.
