In 2003, CD 1 (Cat 7243 5 43329 2 0) was also issued as a single CD in a normal jewel case, no changes were made to the design of the booklet, CD label or cat number from the double issue as above.


A re-press was released after 2015 when EMI was sold to WEA and the EMI back-catalogue was then presented under the Parlophone Label.

 

Changes to the CD label were made by removing "CD 1" and all mention of "EMI" text and the EMI logo, which were replaced with "Parlophone" text and logo.

The Cat Number remained the same, but note new rear bar code label/text.
