There are two cover variants of this single:
Variant 1: "Terence Stamp" as cover star (this one here)
The Smiths - What Difference Does It Make?: "Morrissey" as cover star because Terence Stamp denied his permission for variant 1 (later he changed his mind again and granted the permission)

Runouts are stamped except for the etched 'JONZ' and 'SOUND CLINIC'.
