This is the Silver Metallic stained glass sleeve with a Silver reverse side.

This is a white label promo copy. Side A is Maid of Orleans as listed. Side B is pressed with 6 tracks of varying lengths, all of which are perfectly silent.

Full production versions of the single were originally to have featured a B side track titled Experiments In Vertical Take Off. The song hadn't actually been written at the time, but merely existed as a title. The single sleeves were subsequently printed with this title, but Andy and Paul had decided against the idea, and chose a brand new song called Navigation.

The original sleeve design for the 12" version had used an embossed coin motif on a silver foil sleeve. The band weren't happy with this sleeve design, which led to the new stained glass version. A limited number of the coin foil sleeves, however, were issued.

The 12" stained glass sleeve design was printed on a silver reflective background front and reverse. Later versions of the sleeve were non-reflective and featured a grey back. A third issue used a white back and made an attempt to correct the track listing. However, it listed the third track as 'Of All The Things We've Done'.
