No idea how I didn't know about this until today. I happen to have one copy of each version. I've searched the site with no luck, so I'll ask here. Are one of these versions more rare than the other?
Some copies of the European double LP set (often with a 'Made in Germany' sticker on them) omit to list "Redondo Beach" on the label although the song is still featured on the record.

There was only one version of the LP - from the UK . Given my music industry experience I'd surly think they were all pressed/printed at the same place. Given that the mistake was clearly on the first run I'd guess that the corrected version is harder to find. Morrissey is a known quantity and I'm kind of surprised that there even was a second run of vinyl. A quick look at the LP's on eBay that show the back shows that they are all the mispressed version.
Given all that, I bought both of my copies from Insound and got one of each, so maybe I'm full of it.
My copies (both w/ and w/o Redondo) have identical catalog numbers and barcodes. The copy w/ Redono also added the line "Decca is a registered trademark of Decca Music Group Limited, London, England. A Universal Music Company." on the back.
Other differences are that on the version w/ Redondo the little "M" seal thingy with the lions is just printed in purple ink, not the metallic ink. Also on the Redondo version the song titles are in purpl ink, while on the version w/o redondo the song titles are printed in black ink.
