There is a very similar UK release of this 12" single '[r=5556086'. But in that case the 'TOWNHOUSE' mastering is only applicable to the A side of the vinyl. 'TOWNHOUSE' mastered both A and B sides on this release.

The other issue has a different runout stamp, and additional mastering engineer credit, to this UK pressing with the same catalogue number.
