Will there only be the clear version available?
Rumour has it there’s another version due out soon!
Orange, square vinyl - the colour of an American cheese slice - with a lovely suede label.
*Limited hypocrisy edition.
I ate a sheep’s tongue sandwich, drank a glass of chocolate milk, smoked a camel and then curled up under my favourite down duvet - in my woolly pijamas. I thought of the Mozball-washing slags, apologists and hypocrites around here - then wept for the future of humanity.Did you laugh when you typed that out?

I hope You'll Be Gone will be the version from the New Year's Show where he said, "He's drunk? On New Year's Eve?!? That's terrible!" Always makes me laugh.
' that's terrible !.... I'm gonna, I'm gonna call jesus ! '
The selling things early trend continues...
I think they are being sold today and collectors should try their luck with local indie shops perhaps?

I collected through those times and they were indeed less relaxed - I echo your observation regarding promos.It's actually extremely frowned upon selling records early. If a shop gets caught doing it then the distributor will only send it to you on the day of release and can even close your account (although that would only he under very extreme circumstances).
"Back in the days", especially with promos, record shops would ring the distributor and grass up the competition if they heard another local shop were selling tunes before the official release date.
I remember sales reps from some of the bigger distibutors ringing shops and, whilst posing as a customer, asking if they could buy certain records to see if the shop owner would incriminate him or herself. I don't know what it's like now, I'm sure no one gives a shit, but it genuinely used to be a serious business.
í got slipped a couple of 'Jacky's' early...
No matrix message, again.
The cropped Miron Zownir shot is wrapped around on to the rear sleeve, so one has to work out what the placard says {if unaware of the original shot}. í thought that was quite witty meself.
Or perhaps blatant 'shit' is not allowed on front sleeves, but blatant tits are?
The matching coloured card insides are a cute detail, on this & 'Spent'; But í am sad that way.
Nice touch on the labels: 'Síde A ~ Recorded in Italy / Síde B ~ Recorded in Hammersmith'.
However, í am starting to get a tad nostalgic for boring old black vinyl...

That would be clever if the STDIB vinyl wasn't also clear. It's still clever of you to think of it though. It went over my head.So the vinyl is clear just like the bag on the cover star is clear. Clearly clever.
I ordered a copy two weeks ago as I figured it could be the last of the few chances to own a physical single from a Morrissey album. It wasn't clear whether it would be clear or not. Some are white apparently and I was given no choice when ordering. I do like the sleeve a lot. I wonder what the third single will be or if there be a third single at all.
