1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 15 have the ELO band name in a curly font and a different text layout compared to 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 16 which have the ELO band name in a straight font plus have "S" added to the catalogue number.

​

Numbers 1 + 2 are the same pressing/moulding, just with the A + B sides & labels being swapped around.

​

Numbers 3 + 4 are the same pressing/moulding, just with the A + B sides & labels being swapped around.

​

No 12 was Made in France for the UK market, due to overload of the british pressings plants and the high sales of the single in the UK.

​

Many miss-label copies exist with a mixture of S JET and just JET cat number along with curly font labels and straight font labels on different sides.

​

For example the image here in the sleeves are scanned from the same record.

​

No 15 is VERY rare, having the band name in curley font issued on a 4 prong push out. Only seen one copy in 40 years of collecting ELO
