A Question Of Balance

Originally released as [r=2299056] Threshold THS 3 in August 1970. The mould contains a credit to UML which was bought by EDC, USA in June 2005. It seems that EDC used an old CD mould for this release. This release is different from [r16121600] in that the BMG Direct label and catalog number are missing. Here the UML is referenced and in [r16121600] it is not. Album stereo mix remastered from the original master tapes by Alberto Parodi and Justin Hayward at Logical Box Studios, Genova, Italy. Bonus tracks remastered at the Audio Archiving Company, London Notes on bonus material: Tracks 11: Recorded at Wessex Studios - 24th January 1970.
