Catalog number 601 096-213 appears on the sleeve only.

There are several editions of the European 12" single, all with the same sleeve, cat#, and list of tracks. Most have misprinted labels. The versions can be distinguished by the actual A-side track and the Sonopress matrix codes in the runouts (e.g. 83, 84, 85, etc.).

Runout info:
Runouts are stamped except the Roman numerals are etched and by variant 6 the leading "S" is also etched.
