    I have one with runout "Townhouse" which seems to be the third pressing with plain cover. Not listed on Discogs.

      I have a variant 2, with a plain black glossy inner. The inner sleeves seem random throughout the run offs?

        Hmm, mine seems to be this version but with a silver inner sleeve. Can't see that varition listed though! #Confused :)

          One of the first records to have a profound effect upon me and the track that would make me love electronic music more than any other music. Truly inspiring.....thanks New Order.
