Comes in a die-cut gatefold sleeve with pink and yellow inner sleeve.

Some copies of 'variant 1' had the cat number OVED106 on a sticker over the original V2261 suggesting old stock being sold, these records are in the gatefold, die cut cover with the original Telegraph dark labels so are quite distinct from the new stock OVED106 with the Virgin labels.
Variant 5 has Telegraph labels and the OVED 106 - sticker on the cover.
