This is a WEA-manufactured edition pressed sometime between mid-1988 and late 1990, with no DIDX code on the disc face, and with an upright barcode, Category, and analog equipment disclaimer on the tray inlay. There is a very similar edition with the same packaging but with a disc made by DADC and bearing a DIDX code; and another very similar edition with a WEA disc but a different tray inlay, with a sideways barcode and no Category or analog disclaimer.
