    "For the non-misprint EMI pressing with green cover, see Girlfriend In A Coma". This comment has a link but it goes to the EMI GREY sleeve version. Needs correcting.

      I inherited this from an ex gf, it was the 12" sleeve of William It Was Really Nothing but with this and the 12" of Shoplifters Of The World Unite inside instead. I already have the latter so if anyone has the sleeve only of this for sale I would be interested.
