Twelve Inch Club - 1st Pressing with Obi Again there were two pressings of the CD issue. The first pressing has a barcode printed in the top left corner of the reverse sleeve and a different catalogue number from the 2nd pressing. The first pressing Twelve Ihch Club - 1st pressing disc also comes with a white stickered obi strip with red a-ha-logo and text whilst the reissue comes with a blue and white "Forever Young Series" paper obi.

Some (if not all?) of the first pressing have the title spelt incorrectly on the disc as "Twelve Ihch Club".
