Germany 12" [Line LIEP3.00011E (coloured vinyl)]
There are two different 'strictly' German editions on 12" format. Both were pressed on coloured vinyl: one milky white and the other clear green (the black vinyl edition is the European 12" described above). With the exception of the colour of the wax, everything else about them is identical. The front of the sleeve is the same pink variation on the UK artwork also used for the German and Euro 7"s (view left). The back of the sleeve is closer to the back of the UK 12" than the back of the Euro/German 12" which also released by Line. It features the full UK credits but no barcode. The catalogue number and logo in the top right corner were replaced with the German catalogue number and additional Line Records logos, credits and label code were added at the bottom. The record in both cases is slipped inside a white die-cut poly-lined paper inner sleeve. It bears classic Line labels with graph paper motif, which is completely different to the pink labels of the Euro/German 12" on black vinyl. The text however is almost the same and organised in a similar layout. Because this edition was not meant to be distributed over various European markets, musical rights companies STEMRA and BIEM are not credited on the labels.
