Little Creatures

~ Release by Talking Heads (see all versions of this release, 25 available)

Annotation

Variant of Little Creatures: this version has 'Made in UK' printed on the CD label, not 'Made in the EU'.

The barcode as printed is not readily scannable, as it is heavily cropped and missing the quiet zones either side, and both the start character and check digit. The visible barcode characters 7777461582 do not form a valid UPC-A 12-digit barcode, however the correct barcode as intended is likely to be 077774615822.

Matrix code: CDP 7-46158-2. @ + +
Mastering SID: (none)
Mould SID: ifpi 1406
