Additional information:
The UK 7" and 12" are limited and numbered. The 12" has a gatefold sleeve.

The cd-single included in the "Morrissey CD-singles 91-95" boxset features both versions of "Moonriver" along with the title track.

The sleeve for the Australian cd-single also states 'Made In Holland' but that's because the label used the same printing screen layout as Holland. The Australian card sleeve is actually slightly bigger than its Dutch counterpart. The cd itself has the DATA logo (Digital Audio Technologies Australia) near the spindle.

Artwork information:
Morrissey, photographed by Jake Walters. The back photo (view left) was also taken by Jake. The UK promo photo was lifted from a British book of photography chronicling the original Mod movement. The scan shown left is for the promo cd. The promo 7" is a bit darker and lilac tinted.

Promotion:
UK: A specially designed promo with different artwork (view left) was sent to radio. It was pressed in two formats: 7" (RDJ6383) and cd (CDRDJ6383). The version of "Moonriver" on both formats is the short one. Some copies of the cd had a plugger sticker and an artist information sticker on them. The promo videos with this song were produced in 2000 for possible inclusion on the "Oye Esteban" DVD video compilation and didn't serve to promote this single.

Australia: EMI distributed stock copies of the single with promo stickers on the back.

Sweden: The extended version of "Moonriver" was included on a EMI various artists radio sampler cd (PCD23).
