#1 - US version with lyric sheet. Some copies have the word ’fuck’ covered with a sticker. (A.T. gave out these stickers to put on the cover). #2 - Limited UK version with lyric sheet. UK 12” has a different “boy scouts” sleeve. UK picture CD single on Cherry Red from the late 80s. #3 - French version, first on Cherry Red, then on Cherry Red/Virgin. The latter is available with blue labels and silver labels. French 12” version has a different sleeve (same as the UK 12”). #4 - Spanish version on Edigsa. #5 - Swedish version on Planet. #6 - Irish version, 200 made on clear vinyl. I’ve also seen this on white vinyl in a list, but it might be the same. #7 - Finnish version on Poko. #8 - Greek version; most copies come in generic Music Box label die-cut sleeve, two variations: one black/yellow, one light yellow. 250 copies in a red picture sleeve, hand numbered. #9 - Portugese pressing with pic sleeve. #10 - Canadian pressing on Fringe. #11 - Aussie 7” and 12” on Cherry Red on red vinyl, 12” has generic Virgin label sleeve. #12 - New Zealand 7” press with two, 12” pressing with four tracks. #13 - Italian pressing on Ariston. #14 - German pressing.

Two non-LP tracks (later rereleased on Give me Convenience LP). A side is great DK’s punk - before their conversion to fast hardcore. B side is an eerie, violent and swinging track - the creepy story of an assault. Great record. [9]

Lohnt, weil beide Titel nicht auf damaligen LPs erschienen (’88 beide auf der Convenience LP). Seite A ein typischer DK-Knaller, “The Prey” ruhiger, swingend und bedrohlich (alles auf einmal!).
