Notes:

Blue vinyl edition. Some copies included a pink vinyl 7" version of John Dowie's "Another Close Shave". Running time for 7": Side 1 - 4:39 & Side 2 - 4.50. Some copies included a dark blue promotional poster (folded in six segments) that contained a circuit diagram, band and location details, and the promotional blurb: "First 5,000 colour pressed on fashionable blue vinyl. Electric Circus. In handy shoplifting size. 10" for £2.99. Out now on Virgin VCL5003" The 7 inch was totally random - it was included with blue, black and even orange promo copies with the original catalogue number VCL 5003 and blue Virgin labels. Some of these randomly had an orange sticker to say there was an included 7 inch. Some had no sticker but still included the 7 inch. Some had a full promo poster with or without the 7 inch. It was utterly random. The only consistent fact is that all blue vinyl versions had a sticker stating they contained blue vinyl. Even here this was slightly misleading, as ALL orange promo copies also had the same "Limited Edition On Electric Blue Vinyl" sticker. July 1 1978 edition of Sounds (UK music paper) contains a half-page advert which states "First 5000 colour pressed on fashionable blue vinyl. Electric Circus. In handy shoplifting size. 10" for £2.99." For clarity, the limited edition 10" was pressed by CBS, Aston Clinton, whilst the 7" was pressed by Orlake. All runout information is etched except the CBS identifiers ('B') on Sides A & B which are stamped.
