US 7" 1977 (Booji Boy - 7033-14).There are two pressings of this: both have same cover art/labels, exept print on gatefold inner is black on the first pressing, not blue. Click here for more.

UK 7" 1978 (Stiff - DEV 1). Sleeve 1 - a gatefiold. According to Devo-Obsesso: "This version features a STIFF Records sticker on the cover - bottom left. This is actually a US-made Booji Boy edition, but with a STIFF sticker added on. STIFF imported US copies (which still had the 'little black stickers) and STIFF stickered them to quickly satisfy the UK demand until they could actually press UK editions (with the printed logo instead etc).
