This is a reissue of the four Costello singles initally released on
the Stiff label. Discs 1 & 2 (BUY 11 & 14) come in thin paper picture
sleeves. Disc 3 (BUY 15) comes in a standard black & white Stiff sleeve,
& disc 4 (BUY 20) in a thin paper picture sleeve with slightly different
colours to the original.
How can you tell a reissue single from an original? Well...
On the labels the copyright is given as 'Stiff Records' instead of
the original 'Stiff Records Ltd'.
There is a stamped "AY 50332" in the runoff groove of all 4 singles,
and the original runoff messages do not appear.
The covers have an elliptical cutout on the back that's even smaller
than the one on the _Stiff Box Set No.2_ reissues, except the BUY 15
('Stiff') sleeve which is identical to the _Stiff Box Set No.2_ sleeve.
The is no "Delga" mark on the BUY 11 & BUY 15 covers and the photo on
the BUY 20 sleeve is beginning to look decidedly sepia!
BUY 20 has the words "Made in England" on the label.
