This flexi disc was given away free. Copies were piled on record shop counters for people to pick up and take away. Factory said it would never become a collectors item as they would continue producing them as long as there was a demand ... but they didn't. None the less this record is far from rare.

The US pressing wasn't issued in a picture sleeve. However a few hundred copies were given away as a free gift with "The Öther Söund" fanzine (sometimes incorrectly called "Sleep Chamber", but that's in fact the name of a band featured in this issue). Whether that was by arrangement with Factory, or if the fanzine simply raided record shops for the flexi is unclear. These copies came in a black and white, number stamped, sleeve.
