Altered Images’ third and final album was released in June 1983, presenting a more sophisticated sound and image than the previous two albums. In an unusual move, two established producers were responsible for four songs each on the album. It was preceded by the hit singles “Don’t Talk To Me About Love”, a # 7 UK hit , produced by Mike Chapman (Blondie) and “Bring Me Closer”(# 29), produced by Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T. Rex). This 40 th anniversary edition is presented in its original sleeve , pressed on 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl , featuring an obi strip, and housed in a poly lined inner sleeve, with all the lyrics and credits on the 4 page insert . This limited edition of 1000 also contains a print signed by Clare Grogan. This new edition has been expertly mastered by Barry Grint at AIR Mastering from the original stereo tapes using precision half speed mastering. Half speed mastering is a vinyl cutting technique that improves groove accuracy and transient information creating an incredibly detailed stereo image with a natural high frequency response. In this very special 40 th anniversary 2CD set , CD1 features the original album , while bonus CD2 contains the three non album B sides , two extended 12” versions , a live track and three single edits . The two CDs are presented in brand new seven inch deluxe gatefold packaging , with an 8 page booklet which includes all the lyrics (including the three B sides) and the credits .
