Notes:

Tracks A1, A3, B3, B4: published by Virgin Music (Publishers) Ltd Tracks A2 & B2: published by April Music Ltd/Split Beans Track A4: published by Arnakata Music Track B1: published by Blue Mountain Music Notes on inner sleeve by Paul Morley. Made in England Some copies included a pink vinyl 7" version of John Dowie's "Another Close Shave". Some copies included a dark blue promotional poster (folded in six segments) that contained a circuit diagram, band and location details, and the promotional blurb: "First 5,000 colour pressed on fashionable blue vinyl. Electric Circus. In handy shoplifting size. 10" for £2.99. Out now on Virgin VCL5003" The 7 inch was totally random - it was included with blue, black and even orange promo copies with the original catalogue number VCL 5003 and blue Virgin labels. Some of these randomly had an orange sticker to say there was an included 7 inch. Some had no sticker but still included the 7 inch. Some had a full promo poster with or without the 7 inch. It was utterly random. The only consistent fact is that all blue vinyl versions had a sticker stating they contained blue vinyl. Even here this was slightly misleading, as ALL orange promo copies also had the same "Limited Edition On Electric Blue Vinyl" sticker. This orange vinyl version is believed to have the smallest pressing quantity. 300 has been widely rumoured but this is unconfirmed. Additionally, copies are known to exist that appear to be pressed on yellow vinyl. Again some opinion is that these may have been caused by "colour bleed" when pressing the orange release, and that orange vinyl was then dumped in favour of blue where it didn't happen (explaining the limited number pressed). It is unconfirmed if the yellow pressings were intentionally different (to the orange pressings) or not.
