"Nice Price" CD issue in 1986 by Jet/CBS records, with track list booklet, no lyrics or band info.
All CD’s in the USA were released in long boxes, until in 1991 when the US record industry turned against it. Because of ecological reasons & decreasing the costs for a CD.
Re-issued in 1994 the main difference being that Track 4 was now listed below the spindle hole.
