Is The "Criticise" On The Front Of The Sleeve A Spelling Mistake?, Since Its Spelt That Way Once, But Spelt As "Criticize" On The Rear Of The Sleeve & On The Label A Total Of 8 Times, Any Thing About This?

Fantastic record with a special nice video along . This was a big hit and in heavy rotation in 1987 on MTV . Whenever this one came up i was delighted . A female drummer , the impressive body of Alexander O`Neal weraing a suit and tie , while singing these fabulous lyrics , that couldn't fit my feelings at the time any better : "Don't criticize my life style . Don't criticize my friends .. All You wanna do is criticize ".
Damn i wish i had this 12"..
