Annotation

This release has been very hard to date. The Sire catalog has the # issued in 2/1984, but that may be vinyl only. According to http://www.thecurerecords.com/record.aspx?id=0303 the date is 1988. Discogs has 1987, many other sites have 1990. The same release in long-box form was 1987 http://www.thecurerecords.com/record.aspx?id=1244 and the Canada Sire release was 1985--which looks to be the same as the US release except for the obligatory French--including catalog number.
