I had a loose label on a silver label edition and peeled it away; under the label was the shell of the Bonnie Tyler album ‘Natural Force’ from 1978 (see photo). Snippets from the original album can be heard during the breaks between tracks and it seems this was part of a cost-cutting exercise by RCA.
