Barcode: 8 256462 297416
Standard CD release in gatefold digipack. The CD features the same artwork on the front and back covers, with the inner sleeve collage rearranged to spread across the gatefold inner. The front sleeve contains a lyric booklet while the back contains the disc in a plain white cardboard sleeve. The surface of the disc is black and aqua blue with aqua blue text, matching the labels of its vinyl counterpart.
As with the vinyl edition, since Johnny's name does not appear on the sleeve, new copies feature a black circular "JOHNNY MARR" sticker on the front of the shrinkwrap.
UK promo CD
Prior to the album's release, numbered and watermarked promo CDs were released to the media. The CD was housed in a sealed PVC sleeve with a wraparound paper insert featuring the album's artwork on one side and tracklisting and copyright information on the reverse.
Argentina CD
New Voodoo NVCD002
Barcode: 8 25646 22974 1
This Argentinian CD's design is identical to that of its UK counterpart, and shares its barcode and catalogue numbers. The only indication of its origin is the addition of credits to Warner Music Argentina (in Spanish) on the back of the sleeve and rim of the CD.
Unlike all other CD variants, the Argentinian pressing doesn't come with a black circular "JOHNNY MARR" sticker on the front of the shrinkwrap.
Japan CD
Warner Music Japan WPCR-16135
Barcode: 4 943674 199204
While other international releases kept the same tracklisting as the original UK/EU release, the Japanese CD saw the addition of Easy Money B-side 'Use Me Up' as a bonus track.
The Japanese CD is packaged in a gatefold digipack featuring the same collage on the gatefold inner as the UK/EU and US versions, with a grey gradient OBI strip. The front of the digipack houses two booklets: the standard UK/EU lyric booklet, plus an additional black and white booklet of lyrics in Japanese to all songs except the bonus track. The back of the digipack houses the disc itself (almost identical to the UK/EU disc), in a clear plastic anti-static sleeve.
Japan promo CD
To promote the album in Japan, a promo CD was distributed to relevant media. It comes housed in a cardboard window sleeve patterned with the Warner Music Japan logo and all track information is printed on the disc itself.
US LP - Limited edition blue vinyl
New Voodoo NVLP002
Barcode: 8 256462 297348
As in the UK and Europe, a limited edition blue vinyl pressing was released in the US as well. However, the wax colours are significantly different shades: while the UK/EU blue vinyl is pressed on opaque aqua blue wax, the US version is pressed on a darker, translucent blue. It features the same front and back sleeve art as the UK/EU pressing, and includes a printed inner sleeve (on noticeably thinner stock than the UK/EU pressing) featuring lyrics on one side and photo collage on the other. Since Johnny's name does not appear on the sleeve, new copies feature a black circular "JOHNNY MARR" sticker on the front of the shrinkwrap.
The labels are standard Sire yellow-orange gradient style, and a credit card sized coupon for a digital download of the album is slipped inside the sleeve.
Run-out etchings (A/B): Existensual Healing / Marrcissism
US LP - Standard black vinyl
New Voodoo NVLP002
Barcode: 8 256462 297348
As per previous entry, except pressed on standard black vinyl.
Note: Please be aware that there is no difference between the two US vinyl pressings except for their wax colours. As they share catalogue numbers, barcodes and even matrix numbers, it is unfortunately impossible to know which pressing you're buying without seeing the wax itself. Collectors are advised to request photos of the vinyl itself from sellers online wherever possible.
US LP test pressing
Black vinyl test pressing produced by Rainbo Records in Canoga Park, California. The labels feature contact details for the manufacturing company as well as spaces to write customer details, although these are not always utilised. The record is usually housed in a plain white die-cut paper sleeve. Like the commercial releases, the etchings Existensual healing and Marrcissism are present on the A and B side run-out grooves respectively. It is unknown how many of these were pressed, although a handful were given away as competition prizes at the time of the album's release. Few besides these seem to have made their way into the collectors' market.
US CD
New Voodoo NVCD002
Barcode: 8 25646 22974 1

As with the vinyl edition, since Johnny's name does not appear on the sleeve, new copies feature a black circular "JOHNNY MARR" sticker on the front of the shrinkwrap.
