I got both vinyl variations, and there's a big difference between the sleeves.
My 'Sugarcube' TAT has the name "HAWKWIND" written in orange over the front
cover TAT logo, the "shelf side" entitles the album to "T.A.T." HAWKWIND,
and back side has only the track names printed to the 4 vinyl sides.
When you see it for the first time, you may think this is a Hawkwind album.
My 'Non Sugarcube' TAT has just the TAT logo and 'name circle' on front
cover, 'shelf side' claims just "T.A.T." and back cover includes group names
to the track lists.
Both those copies were bought when TAT was brand new.
The labels are identical.
Rob Godwin talks in the Illustated Collector's Guide book about two
different booklets - both 16pg - both mine is 32pg - anyone who has seen the
16pg one?
