Notes

This version has labels with just one small inner pressing ring. The rest of the label is perfectly flat, unlike with Shoplifters Of The World Unite.

A mispress of this 12" also exists with "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby" on the A-side.

Custom pink inner sleeve with cat. no (RTT 195) written in white at top right-hand corner.

Early UK copies were sold in a plastic carrier bag with "Shoplifter" printed on one side, and the cover art printed on the other side.
