The Smiths- Strangeways, Here We Come  Australia UK LP issue with misprinted 'green' titles on the front of the sleeve, the standard copies came with Brown lettering. Sleeve has minor creasing and record is NM.
Australia LP [CBS 460230-1] Green Tinting  The front of the Australian LP features the usual LP artwork although the name of the band is not embossed. The back is similar to the British back. The catalogue number was changed to the Australian one (including the cassette catalogue number) and the barcode was moved to the bottom left corner. It must be said that the sleeve is rather thin, but the inner sleeve is almost as thick as the UK one. It looks just like the British inner sleeve except for the catalogue number in the top right corner which had to be corrected. The labels are the usual Australian ones, green with the red silhouette of a man wearing a bowler hat.   ****An alternate edition of this release with green band name and album title on the front has been reported. The rest of the packaging is identical to the standard edition described above.
