The Europe/Germany cd-single was available on 28 November 1997 in Sweden because Morrissey was on tour there at the time.

Promotion:
UK: This single was promoted at the time of release of the single by stock copies with 2 promotional stickers, one with release date and the other with artist information. CD-R acetates with the same promo stickers also served earlier limited promotional purposes.
Germany: A one-track cd (568-278-2) was produced for promotion, without artwork. It is often paired with a white paper 'fact sheet' insert. The cd's label has white text over grey, but copies have been seen with grey text over black. The latter perhaps served to promote the single in other European countries.
USA: A one-track cd was sent to radio for promotion (Mercury, MECP337, view artwork in left frame) despite this song never being released as a single in that country.
