Sheffield Lab Matrix plated the master discs (fathers), Allied Record Company plated the mother discs, Record Service Alsdorf plated the stampers & pressed them as well.

Remark:
The 'Lyrics Co-written By' credit for "Slow Love" (track B3) is release wide credited to "Carol Davis" [on other - very similar - editions you may find on labels "Carole Raphaell Davis" and on the black dust sleeve "Carol Davis" - the credit may appear on different editions in a different way and is often not accurately reflected in other release pages...
