I’m on board with this. A record I’ve had on my list for probably a decade, but never got around to buying, and it’s currently €16 on sale in my local store...
I bought the Rhino reissue a couple of years ago.

for hint 1 - bananarama
In Marquee Moon there’s a song titled Venus, also a very popular Bananarama song
Yeah that’s the one they have in the sale!

I just needed a nudge to finally get this.
Highly recommended! According to the sticker it's cut from the original analog masters, pressed on 180gr vinyl at Optimal, plated at RTI and mastered by Chris Bellman.
Well I’ve bought my records for this week (2 Van Morrison & 1 Clash) tonight so that gives me a week to see it be firmed up as favourite and then I can jump

I got a Newbury copy, dark(er-ish) purple. Breathes nicely, balanced tone. I'm happy with it
If you guessed correctly, this is the first AOTM I previously have heard and own! I don't have the recent repress but I also don't think I have an OG press. I don't know what I have. Lol
I can get behind this! Excellent album.

I plan to announce with a redic passionate essay and extras on the 18th. (it's a goal date).
I have a few more clues left. I'll post another on Monday.

Not Television then....
I was just going to comment that I have the Rhino pressing @Skalap mentioned and it's great.
