This is the Italian LP (Base Record/Les disques du crépuscule BASE 40140) ripped to 16/44.1 FLAC in November 2010.

It's a great document of the more creative indie pop, experimental and New Wave sounds happening in Europe in the early '80s, as curated by the seminal Crépuscule label.

I ripped this one in a hurry, so I must apologize for not editing out the pauses between tracks, and also for the low overall volume level and the less-than-ideal ReplayGain tags. You will want to normalize the tracks, or if you use a ReplayGain-aware player, rescan them with an R128-based scanner like the one in foobar2000 in order to get more reasonable volume levels.
