Album Info

Release Date: 1978

Label: Passport Records

Black vinyl pressing. Gatefold cover.

Front cover (oldest Synergy Cords logo, white glow around man), back cover (white letters, white glow), no mentioning of JEM Records and Matrix / Runout codes indicate this release is at least as early as Synergy - Cords. Whereas Synergy - Cords was pressed on clear vinyl with smooth labels, this one was pressed on black vinyl (usually quieter comparing both releases) with textured labels. Labels look exactly the same in all other aspects.

Even though they were pressed on black vinyl, some copies have a transparent sticker on the cover that says "A Revolutionary Transparent Recording".

Promo copies also come with a sticker stating "DJ Copy. Loaned for Promotion Only. NOT FOR SALE. Ownership and All Rights Reserved."
