Notes
This was the second release for the song on Dindisc, and the third attempt at having a hit with it. Although not stated both tracks are remixes of the original Martin Hannett productions, and are the ones that appear on the groups debut album. The sleeve front is the same as the previous Dindisc release, though the back of the sleeve and the labels are all different.
Carton sleeve.
Pressing plant identified by "⋀" in the runout grooves.
Later copies came in a die-cut grey Dindisc company sleeve with the text 'denna disc är nu dindisc' (translation: 'din' means 'your' in Swedish, so the wordplay being this disc is now your disc)

I have a copy where all descriptors match with the above apart from the Side A Matrix / Runout which is: DIN 2 A3 - not A4.
