​

Don't Bring Me Down was issued in two different fonts:

​

• The first version has the ELO band name in a curly font

 

• The second version has a different font and text layout. The ELO band name is in a straight font,  a "S" was added to the catalogue number and STEREO word is much smaller.

​

The 4 prong push out with the curley font band name is VERY rare. Only seen one copy in 40 years of collecting ELO

​

The 4 prong push out with the straight font band name is RED Translucent Vinyl.​

​

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.
