Label credits songwriting on A5 to Mrs. John Murphy only.
Inner sleeve credits songwriting on A5 to Mrs. John Murphy and Black Francis.

Instead of a printed inner-sleeve, some copies were issued with a two-sided insert on glossy, white card stock featuring the inner-sleeve design (see images).
Some copies were issued with a silver, circular sticker on the shrink-wrap with the text “Pixies surfer rosa” (see images).
LP appears translucent brown when held up to light.

      "Mrs. John Murphy" is the name Kim Deal used during the early days of the band. I think everyone knows that though...

        the used copy I bought came with both the gold inner sleeve and the insert with the same print. The sleeve itself is glossy with a rough texture.

          I’m looking for the original inner sleeve if anyone has one they can sell.
