UK CD5 [Rough Trade RTT200CD]
This was the first ever UK cd-single for the Smiths. The front and back artwork is based on that of the vinyl formats, with a slightly different text layout (view left). There is no booklet, just a square insert. The back of it features a track listing with song credits. The cd is gold with text printed directly onto it in dark brown.

The existence of an alternate edition with silver cd is rumoured. It also differs from the original gold cd by the lack of the line "Made in the UK" on the cd surface.

UK 12" promo [Rough Trade RTT200]
This single was mainly promoted with white label copies of the 12" format. These may be the most common of all promo white labels of Smiths releases, along with the ones produced for the band's previous UK single. They were usually distributed inside a white paper die-cut bag but some copies might have found themselves paired with a stock record sleeve.

UK poster design sheets
This is a set of four unfolded uncut paper printer proofs for different stages of the production process of the 12" x 24" promotional poster described above. These copied black and white pages are 'works in process' showing the outline drawings of cover star Billy Fury and are all prior to colourisation. These being 'working items', they have portions held together with sellotape. All four sheets represent a very early stage of the design as the text layout on them is always somewhat different to the final layout.
