This release is often mis-described as being New Zealand only when it was released in both NZ and Australia in March 1988. There was more than one pressing of the single as later pressings came in a plain Island sleeve after the picture sleeve prints were exhausted. it is possible that the first pressing was identical in both countries, but as the demand was greater in NZ, where it went to No.1, the unique sleeve was used.
