Notes

This is the initial Rough Trade distributed issue. These issues came with a plain white sleeve stamped by the band themselves with the words THE SPECIAL A.K.A 'Gangsters' Vs THE SELECTER. This stamped sleeve was limited to 5000 copies.
The subsequent issues came in the standard 2-Tone sleeve: Gangster / The Selecter

On this pressing, Gangsters fades out towards the end. The solid centre has a less pronounced, single dip; later pressings have double dips
