| B | Jersey Girl | 6:15 |
Notes
This is the 2nd pressing of the shaped picture disc which was issued in March 1985.
The differences between this and the 1st issue (October 1984) are:
1. The correct speed (33 rpm) is shown on the leg on the back picture (on the 1st issue this speed is shown below a rectangular blue block used to block out the incorrect speed (45 rpm) which was originally printed on the artwork but corrected before the vinyl was made).
2. On early copies of the reissue a cover sticker with 'Limited Edition Stand Up Picture Disc WA4662' was evident. As the single became a hit this 2nd time round the sticker disappeared.
The stand is identical.
Includes folding stand of the American Flag
An unknown number of copies are translucent brown. This has been called a degradation in the composition of the pressing. An image has been added.

You appear to be showing the 1985 reissue which came with the additional cover sticker. Without seeing additional pictures it is hard to say but the sticker is a clue. The back leg has correct (33rpm) speed. The 1st issue did NOT have the cover sticker and had the incorrect speed (45rpm) blocked out with 33 rpm printed underneath. This is well documented. The 1st issue flopped and 6-7 months later this 1985 issue was released, essentially the same BUT it is VERY PRONE to discolouring (the so-called 'tea-staining') and it is very very difficult to find a completely clear vinyl copy. The 1st issue also suffers from this chemical staining (cause unknown but almost certainly an incorrect vinyl mix) but does not suffer so badly. Very simple to establish which is 1st or 2nd. NOTE the 1st issue did NOT have a sticker though, of course, it is very easy to swop covers as the folded plinth is exactly the same.
