FM Headroom Direct to disc recording

I picked up a copy of this masterpiece today at a used shop. There were two copies there, one was from Labyrinth records and the other from passport. The one from Labyrinth was called FM direct to disc Limited addition rock recording. The one from Passport was called HEADROOM. Just wondering if there was any difference in the recording quality and pressing. I understand were only two hundred copies pressed. Any light shed on this recording would be appreciated.

I have not heard this record in about 22 years so I am looking forward to a night in the theater.
Cheers

Thanks for your response, now you have me puzzled and I have to go back to the record store to see what the other pressing was. I do also own Surveillance on vinyl and Black Noise in both CD and Vinyl versions. Mine does have the disc washer label on the back as well but it is defiantly a Labyrinth record.

Ghostrider.. hmmm not sure what you have there. Maybe there was a later reissue on vinyl? but Direct to Disk items were never reissued.. because they were direct to disk no tape exists. But Sheffield I think made tapes of theirs. ??

P.S. "FM" opened for Rush during a tour, I think in 1980 (?) and I missed it.. I would have gone only to see "FM"

Yup , thats the one, thanks Synthfreek! So it looks like there is two different copies, again I am going to have to buy the other for curiosity sake.

Happy New Year to all
