Notes

  • Stiff reissue of their 4 EC 7" singles in a 'vertical' plastic holder.
  • 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.
  • There 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.
