“French 1st pressing most notable for having unique pink and yellow labels and different artwork on the sleeve reverse featuring newspaper cuttings. The track listing on the inside of the sleeve bears no relation to the order of songs on the records and also includes an unusual message stating 'All Johnny Rotten recordings except Bensen (sic) Was A Gas' was recorded in 1976'. There is no obvious differentiatation between the records other than the colour of the labels and the slightly different catalogue number printed on each one. Both discs have '1', 'Face A' and 'Face B' on the text label and '2' printed on the picture label. Unlike every other release there is no distinct A,B,C,D sides!”

“Despite being pressed in Germany this is actually a Dutch release! The labels have 'STEMRA' printed on them instead of 'GEMA'. The tracks are unique to this issue in that they are reversed. Thin glossy picture sleeve features the same artwork with the (later) withdrawn Amex card image.”

“Soundtrack album to the film of the same name featuring 23 tracks. Not all tracks from the film are on the album and not all the tracks on the album were featured in the final released version of the film either! The track listing on the inner sleeve is correct although 'No one is Innocent' is called 'Cosh The Driver', 'Friggin' In The Riggin' is listed as 'The Good Ship Venus' and 'C'mon Everybody' is written as 'Come On Everybody'. Also the tracks on the sleeve are not listed in the correct order, it just states 'includes' and is missing 'Who Killed Bambi' & 'Rock Around The Clock'. The timing of 6 minutes 20 is the total time for tracks A3 and A4. This sleeve has WHITE text along the spine. Cover has a star shaped sticker which states '21New Tracks'. ℗ 1979 Virgin Records Ltd. Similar to release [r1787627] but with white (instead of red) text along the spine and different Runouts and star shaped sticker with 21 (instead of 20) tracks.”
