I believe that the first pressings used the black and white paper labels whilst later pressings used silver injection moulded
labels.
As it was a UK #1, then plenty of copies are still circulating. Mint copies should be extremely easy to find.

Like the previous cassette single, this cassette featured the same tracks as the 12". Both sides played the same.
And a huge number were produced making them common today.

12" box containing the standard 12" single (Virgin SMXT 3) and four black and white photographs.

additional information
This was Simple Minds' most lavish single format to date. A large pink box contained the standard 12" single
along with four black and white prints from the Belfast Child video. The pictures included
indivdiual portraits of Jim, Charlie and
Mick along with a group shot of the trio.
It's now becoming increasingly rare. Unfortunately the boxes themselves were quite flimsy so they often get crushed or bent if handled
badly. So mint copies will be even rarer.
