The Smiths This Charming Man #RT 601.110 AND #RT80.074 France 12"
France 12" [Virgin 601110; first pressing]
Collectors of alternate artwork love French 12"s because they often differ slightly to their counterparts from other countries. In the case of the "This Charming Man" 12", the front of the sleeve has an added 'MAXI 45t' logo to the right of the band's name (MAXI 45t means maxi-single playable at 45rpm). The back of the sleeve is based on the back of the regular UK 12", with slight modifications to account for the different track listing and label. The record label is beige with brown text, showing both the Rough Trade and Virgin logos, as well as the mandatory SACEM stamp. The New York mix is labelled 'US remixed'. Some copies have been seen with a gold 'PM132' sticker over the usual price code number in the top right corner on the back.
France 12" [Virgin 80.074]
This 12" reprint dates from some time after 1984 as the original 6-digit catalogue number was replaced with a 5-digit one . The only difference with the previous edition is the correction of the catalogue number on the label and on the back of the sleeve.
