It seems the earlier releases of this single had a glossy card sleeve, the later had a matt finish.

The B-side, "Ain't That Peculiar," is an alternate recording to the one contained on the "Gentlemen Take Polaroids" album. It is also the version that first was released on Virgin's "Cash Cows" compilation in 1980.
