"Tomorrow"
collectors appendix

 

USA CD5 [Sire/Reprise 9 40580-2]
The "Tomorrow" cd-single comes in a Digipak with white plastic tray. View front and back artwork from the image gallery on the left side of this page. The inner side of the Digipak's front panel shows the same image as on the back, but there are no barcode or logo in the top left corner, and the full single credits are printed in the same gold colour, justified to the right side of the boots. The disc is silver (uncoloured) with black text. Morrissey's name appears at the top, a block of Sire/Reprise credits on the left, the track listing, a mention of "Your Arsenal" and publishing info on the right, a production credit at the bottom above logos for Sire, Reprise and Compact Disc and the catalogue number.

USA 12" [Sire/Reprise 9 40580-0]
Because of its different shape, the artwork of the 12" format shows a bit less of the usual image on the front and a bit more on the back, comparatively to the compact disc format (view front and back artwork on the left). Copies that are still sealed have a round black sticker on the front stating "Also Available on Compact Disc Maxi-Single" in white. The record was pressed on purple vinyl and is slipped inside a clear anti-static inner sleeve. Its labels are the usual yellow Sire ones, with blue Sire logo at the top, black Reprise logo and catalogue number on the left, contents and credits at the bottom, and RPM on the right.

USA CSS [Sire/Reprise 9 18789-4]
The cassingle comes in a card slipcase open at both ends. The usual front artwork was slightly cropped for the front of it (view left). The back artwork was also adapted to the format (view left). The spines are white with gold text. Morrissey's name and "Tomorrow" are printed on each of them in the same fonts and colour as on the front, between the catalogue number and a CS logo. The cassette is made of black plastic. At first glance it looks like its got black glossy paper labels with white text, but the text is actually printed on the cassette itself. It's just that the plastic has a glossy finish in the centre area where the text is found. Morrissey's name appears top-centre on each side, above the title of the song featured on that side. The catalogue number is on the left between a Sire logo above and a Reprise logo beneath.

USA 12" promo [Sire/Reprise 9 40580-0]
This single was mainly promoted via stock copies of the 12" stamped with a promo warning in gold ink on the back of the sleeve. The black sticker advertising the single's additional availability on compact disc which is usually found on the seal of the stock 12" was affixed directly onto the sleeve of the promo because promos were never sealed.

USA CD5 promo [Sire/Reprise PRO-CD-5649]
The release of this single was also promoted with the help of a very limited one-track promo cd of the title track. This is without doubt the rarest of all Morrissey promo cds made by Sire/Reprise. Strangely, the cd was distributed at the time of release of "Tomorrow" as a single, but it features the album version of the song instead of the expected single mix, and advertises the song's availability on the "Your Arsenal" album and not the "Tomorrow" single. The disc is silver (uncoloured) with black text. Morrissey's name, the title track and the song length are printed at the top, a block of Sire/Reprise credits on the left, a promo warning, a mention of "Your Arsenal", songwriting and publishing credits on the right, a production credit at the bottom above logos for Sire, Reprise and Compact Disc and the catalogue number. It was distributed in a plain jewel case without any front or back artwork.

Note: The 2-track promo cd of "Tomorrow" numbered PRO-CD-5637 was distributed before the release of the "Tomorrow" single and actually served to promote the release of "Your Arsenal". See the latter album's collectors appendix for information.
