A. Runaway Boys (echoless version) B. My One Desire The release with the paper pin up label was the first release. The very first pressing of this release had the matrix number SCAT 1 A-1 on the a-side. This is the so-called "Echoless" version of Runaway Boys, which was the wrong edit. Copies were already sent out before the mistake was noticed, so it was withdrawn and copies should have been returned to the record label. However a few copies survived. Normal paper pin-up label with the small centre hole and normal sleeve. Considered a collectors item. But just to be absolutely clear: only the ones with the matrix number SCAT 1 A-1 on the a-side are the echoless version. All others are the regular version. Sleeve opening on upper side. Discogs release number: 9055811

A. Runaway Boys B. My One Desire This is a German pressing for the UK market due to the high demand in the UK. This version has a slightly different cover. In the upper right corner of the front cover it states: STEREO Scat 1. The back cover misses the Scat 1 text, but has an added Arista logo in the lower left corner. The label is the regular German, they only added Scat 1 and it has a small centre hole instead of the big centre hole which is more common in Germany. The matrix number is stamped and very clear, except for the roman number. The "made in Germany" is very small and barely visible. My version has a roman 3 (III) after the matrix number on the A-side, but that varies per pressing. Sleeve-opening on right side Discogs release number: 699718
