This release includes a sheet of five detachable postcards, each with a picture of a band member, respectively of the band. It may not include in all batches of this release. [Notes concerning this particular album, its various versions, and pressings]: This album came with incorrect tracks' duration, varying from version to version, and from pressing to pressing. There are 4 different versions (editions) of this album. The most significant difference is the length of 'Nightflight To Venus': - 1st pressing with [7:11 min](http://www.discogs.com/release/1888169) - 2nd pressing with [5:55 min](http://www.discogs.com/release/1149465) - 3rd pressing with [4:58 min](https://www.discogs.com/release/471954) - 4th pressing with 4:46 min (as on cover, this release), as the final and most common one. Some versions have no indication of a duration of 4:46 min, but can be recognized by their runout matrix (as [here](https://www.discogs.com/release/13845631-Boney-M-Nightflight-To-Venus)). Duration length as on cover / label: A1 - 4:46 / 5:55 A2 - 5:51 / 6:03 A3 - 3:10 / 3:17 A4 - 6:51 / 6:54 A5 - 2:36 / 2:35 B1 - 4:18 / 4:18 B2 - 3:31 / 3:30 B3 - 4:02 / 4:02 B4 - 5:32 / 5:22 B5 - 4:00 / 4:00 The tracks 'Nightflight To Venus' and 'Rasputin' play continuously without interruption (total duration A1+A2= 10:37 min). [On labels:] ℗ 5/1978 and ℗ 5/78 [On back cover:] ℗ 4/78 Im Ariola-Vertrieb Printed in Western Germany by Mohndruck Reinhard Mohn OHG, Gütersloh Publishers: Far-Music (tracks: A1, A2, A4, B1 to B4) United Artists (track: A3) Burlington (track: A5) Blue Mountain (track: B1) Global (track: B5) This final, fourth, version of "Nightflight To Venus" was released with various variations. Mainly, inconsistencies related to tracks' duration printed on covers vs. tracks' duration printed on labels, exemplary for the tracks A1 / A2: - 4:46 / 5:10 vs. 5:15 / 5:51 (on [r=31108484]), - 4:46 / 5:51 vs. 5:15 / 5:10 (on [r=10228713]), - 4:46 / 5:51 vs. 5:55 / 6:03 (this release), - 5:15 / 5:10 vs. 4:46 / 5:51 (on [r=7051660]), - 5:15 / 5:10 vs. 5:55 / 6:03 (on [r=13845631]). Similar releases with the metalwork done by [[label:95728]] destined to be used at other pressing plants.
