Notes

℗ 1987 © 1987
cover star Elvis Presley © James R. Reid
this record is dedicated to Ruth Polsky

Pressed on clear blue vinyl in thin, top-opening paper sleeves.
Sleeve is without barcode (in difference to the black vinyl Line Records release).
Printings on sleeve back are silver (instead of the usual grey).

On both labels: Morrissey is everywhere misspelled as "Morrisey".
On A-side label: Morrissey, Johnny Marr and Stephen Street incorrectly credited together as Producers (correct: only Johnny Marr – as stated on the sleeve).
