The Teardrop Explodes - Kilimanjaro

 I Loved The teardrop Explodes from the first time I heard them on the radio, Treason having an outing on Radio one the first time it was released.

 I bought the first album but it appeared in it's altered cover with the photo of Kilimanjaro sitting proudly. At the time I did not realise this was not the original release and have since picked up this version above which has the glossy cover plus the band picture.

 This version also did not have Reward among the tracks as this was added later to boost the bands profile and chart friendly approach.
