Notes

Third UK edition with band name and picture of Terence Stamp (courtesy Columbia Pictures) on front sleeve.
The photograph of Terence Stamp was taken on the set of the film The Collector. Originally Stamp denied permission for the photo to be used and a photo of Morrissey was used for the second edition. However, Stamp changed his mind, and the original cover was reinstated for this third edition.

Runouts are etched except for the Aston Clinton stamper numbers and letters, which are stamped. The letter A appears as a "broken" A (Λ).

Barcode and Other Identifiers

  • Matrix / Runout (Runout side A): RTT-146.A1 D JONZ 10
  • Matrix / Runout (Runout side B): RTT-146.B2 C SOUND CLINIC A

    Rare copy without any writing on the front cover - if you see a picture with "The Smith" on the front then it is, because Discogs do not seem to accept the real picture...
