Notes: Two possible release dates are offered for this release : 1 April 1985 - Kent Music Report 10 May 1985 - The Art Of Noise website This differs from [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/669908]the NZ version[/url] in that the labels are generic Island labels (blue, with the white Island logo over a yellow setting sun). Released in an outer sleeve with some credits on the rear; and an inner sleeve with an extract from a text titled "THE GENESIS OF STUPIDITY" (this may be by Theodor Adorno) on one side, and some other credits on the other side (illustrated with a cut-out mask). The credits side of the inner sleeve also has a section (headed by "SING ALONG WITH THE ART OF NOISE (don't be afraid)") with what would appear to be lyrics to the tracks, but the text has no relationship to any words in the tracks. The catalog no.s appear as follows: - L 38284 on outer and inner sleeves, and spine - L-38284 on labels - ZTIQ2 on outer sleeve - ZTTIQ 2 on labels Release title shown as "(WHO'S AFRAID OF?)
