The Dreaming - Japan First Issue Pressing


The album jacket is pretty identical to the UK release, but with a couple of minor differences; mainly the catalogue number on the front of the jacket in the upper right-hand corner and some Japanese text and distribution information located at the back of the jacket along the bottom.



Personally, I think the front of the obi-strip is striking on this one, but I do wish they had added something a little extra to it. This was also the last release to have a somewhat interesting obi-strip, in my opinion, and they became fairly plain and boring from Hounds of Love onward.


The record labels are also the same as the UK records labels, and the only real difference to these are the red text and different catalogue number.


Like all Japanese releases, this one also comes with a folded insert. Japanese text and Japanese lyrics are found on the front and back of the insert, and the English lyrics are found inside. I chopped it into four separate sections so it would blow up larger.

The Dreaming - UK Original LP


Original UK LP release for The Dreaming. Take note of the inner lyric sleeve that comes with this release. I've sometimes seen these missing and replaced with plain generic ones. So if you're after original pressings, always make sure you know what the inner sleeve looks like. Another thing about the sleeve is that it's made out of a paper material that's easily stained with fingerprints.


The back of the record jacket and the record labels have the same ivy design that's found on the Single File box set - just a different colour.


Unlike some of Kate's other albums, the original UK pressing for The Dreaming does not have any inscriptions etched into the run off vinyl area.
