Notes

Issued on orange gradient CBS labels with a double-pointed arrow below label matrix and 'stereo' on the left.
Initially in a card picture sleeve with printed gold-leaf relief with 'The Only Ones' on the front and a Chinese dragon on rear below the tracklist, appearing embossed.
Later editions without the overprint omit the two details on the cover.

"℗ 1979 CBS Records © 1979 CBS Records" (rear cover).
"Made in England" (labels).
