The 12" inner sheet is slightly different to the initial copies, containing a record review, liner,  and lyrics. In addition on the front of the inner sheet the "6" of "621984" was crossed out and a hand written "5" was added ("521984"). This (supposedly) refers to the number of years until 1984, '6' when the first insert was produced and '5' by the time the second appeared.

The sleeve, the labels and the matrices are virtually identical between initial presses and it is unclear whether they were made at the same or different times. Both initial presses feature a blank, white spine, and a back cover that is printed upside-down relative to the front cover. Both have plain white inner sleeves with rounded corners reading "uk patent no. 1,125,555."

A1 was meant to be the track 'Asylum', vocals credited to Eve Libertine on the inner sheet, but no company would press the record with this track. It was replaced with silence. The lyrics for this track on the insert are covered with a black bar with an explanation.
