The Colour Of Spring

Specific features: - This release has “Talk Talk” printed in standard font on center labels, and has no "DMM" logo printed on the back cover. - Issued with a printed inner sleeve with credits and Mark Hollis' handwritten lyrics. - Runout inscriptions are stamped: Some of the separately stamped inscriptions are rotated by 90°, others are mirrored. Some of the stamped characters can't be deciphered with 100% accuracy due to being partially, and/or lightly, and/or sloppily, stamped onto the surface, e.g. variant 7, side A, "[illegable]" stands for one of such characters.
