The second Jon & Vangelis album. The first editions have six songs and a black-and-white cover. Initial copies in the UK had a unique embossed sleeve (see [[release:6009332]]) and later the better known cover. The album was re-released in most countries later the same year, adding the single "I'll Find My Way Home", swapping the sides, and using different artwork with a brown background. In the UK this meant a change to the Cat. No. from POLD 5039 to POLD 5053. In Canada, the LP and cassette releases remained with the six-song version and artwork, although the CD release used the seven-song track listing and cover. "I'll Find My Way Home" was added to the Canadian LP of "Short Stories" as a bonus 12" instead.
