This
album is a compilation of tracks
from "Gentlemen Take Polaroids" and "Tin Drum" plus the single version
of "Taking Islands In Africa". This has a unique cover with a photo of
Sylvian's
face on the front and a group photo on the back. The French cassette is
probably a counterfeit/pirate issue but is more professionally produced
than most. I saw several copies in French shops in the late 90's.

Japan
(Asian cassette 1982)
This compilation features the same tracks as the
USA LP, but in a different order. The tracklisting includes a rather
amusing mistake - the final track is called "Still Life In Cantonese
Boys"! I'm not sure of the country of origin, but the tape itself says
"made in Japan". Update - ozboyz' copy does not have "made in Japan" on the tape but mine does.
