Four main versions exist from at least three pressings: all have the same runouts.
(1) The First pressing (opens in a new tab) has matte black labels. The artwork for the first sleeve is the same on both sides, and there is no address. There are rumored to have been only 100 copies of this configuration.
(2) Many first pressing/matte label 45s were later sold in a second version of the sleeve (opens in a new tab) that adds an address for "Pinsicato Records" on the back. "An ORCA Production" is added at the bottom.
(3) A 1985 re-pressing (opens in a new tab) has somewhat glossy black labels, but the typesetting and runouts are unchanged. Issued with the "Pinsicato" sleeve.
(4) The second re-pressing (opens in a new tab) has different label typography and an updated, third version of the sleeve, which adds "Recorded In 1979" in a cartoon starburst at the upper right. Back sleeve reads, "An Orca Production for Pacific Records Int."
