Front cover of the six-page foldout booklet.

All this missing in the booklets that come with the POLYGRAM-less variations.

Beware, as later non-target German pressings also come housed in this inlay.


Rear tray insert "Printed in West Germany." with barcode.
It also states "Manufactured in Germany a (sic) by Record Service GmbH, Alsdorf.
Nothing is printed on the reverse. The variations without POLYGRAM on the front
will be found with this rear tray card.
Later non-target German pressings also come housed in this inlay. See below.

Notes: This target CD was not officially distributed in North America, as far as I know.
The chances are small that you will find it in the used bins in the States.
It is not terribly easy to find in Europe, either.
