Version notes

Earlier Jacksonville (O) reissue variant with purple labels. This re-issue contains the Extended Version of "She Blinded Me With Science" and the Single Edits for "Airwaves" & "Windpower".

There are several label & cover variations of this Capitol release pertaining to the writing credits for tracks A1 and B3 (both are co-written by Jo Kerr) as well as the different versions of track A2 'Radio Silence'.

-This earlier variant incorrectly has 'T. Kerr' on the cover and on the labels, for both A1 & B3 (later corrected to J. Kerr).

-This variant also includes the 'guitar version' mix of 'Radio Silence' (A2), timed at 4:32 (earlier pressings have the original 'electronic' version at 3:43).

Also, the 'Venice In Peril' logos on the labels do not include '12 R6051', and are placed more to the left of the 'C' in Capitol (other pressings this is partially under the C and some include '12 R6051')

Other later versions:
T. Kerr (cover)/J. Kerr (label) (Winchester)
J. Kerr (cover)/J. Kerr (label) (Winchester)
A1 correctly as J. Kerr; B3 incorrectly as T. Kerr on labels & jacket) (Jacksonville)
