Notes

First UK edition without the band name on the front cover.
The cover photograph is of Terence Stamp, taken on the set of the film The Collector. Subsequently, Stamp denied permission for the photo to be used, and the second edition featured Morrissey in a re-enacted scene instead.

Lyrics to track A printed on the back cover.
