The regular UK 7"-release has a small multicolour band-shot (Pål, Magne (in mid-air) and Morten) by Knut Bry on a white background with light blue "spots". "a-ha" plus the title of the single is hand-written in orange across the upper part of the picture sleeve above the group-shot.

As with many of the 7" singles, there are versions available with different coloured labels including white, silver and blue / grey.

With the exception of the added information on extra tracks, the 12"-release offers a sleeve identical to the 7"-edition. "Extended Version" is printed below the title, while the "Dub" and "This Alone Is Love" have been listed along the lower section of the sleeve. Both the "Extended Version" (7:02) and the "Dub Version" (4:25) are remixes by Jellybean.

A 12" limited poster edition is also available which includes the same 24"x36" colour poster as that with the limited 12" of "The Sun Always Shines On T.V.". In addition to the extra "Special Limited Edition Personality Poster W8594 TW"-sticker, this release features a different sleeve as well. The front is dominated by a black and white nature-shot which covers more than 2/3 of the sleeve. "a-ha" and the song title is printed in light green block letters while an identical, but even smaller version of the photo issued on the 7" release, is placed near the lower left hand corner. The remaining 1/3 of the cover on the left hand side is white with a couple of light blue `ink spots', while near the centre of the sleeve there is an orange and green strip-excerpt of a photo of autumn trees. The reverse features a relatively small black and white excerpt of a photo near the lower right corner, while additional information has been printed in light green, red and black. As on the front a light blue ink blotch has also been included on the white background.

The existence of some original artwork suggest that there were plans to release a collectors limited edition fold-out picture bag 7" of "I've Been Losing You" (catalogue number W8594V). This was never released and the same artwork was used in the 7" limited edition release of "Cry Wolf".

Variations

Argentina

There was an Argentinian promo 7" with a-ha's "I've Been Losing You" (Te he estado perdiendo) on side A and John Fogerty's "Eye of the zombie" on side B. The single has beige labels with black WB-logo and text plus a yellow promo stamp. It comes in a generic red & orange EMI / Odeon sleeve.

Australia: The US-made 7"-front is identical to the UK release, while the reverse is similar to the French edition (see below), with the exception of the fonts and colours used on the a-ha-logo and song-title. The Australian edition has a UK-style, green handwriting of both logo and single-title. The 12" features the same cover as the limited edition UK release except that "Specially-Priced Maxi-Single" is printed in white capital letters right above the song-title (which is printed in slightly darker green letters) on the front of the picture sleeve and there is a slightly wider border at the top of the sleeve.

Brazil

The 7" promo does not come with a picture sleeve. a-ha are featured on the side B and there is a song by a different artist on side A On the disc the track is written as "Te He Estado Perdiendo (I've Been Losing You)". The Brazilian promo 12" has a light green picture sleeve while all information is written in green. WEA is printed in quite large letters vertically to the left side of the sleeve while the track listings (Lado 1 and 2) are written in smaller letters to the mid-right of the sleeve. In addition "PROMO No. 44 - Promocional - Venda Proibida" is written in small letters in the upper mid-right position of the sleeve.

All information on the white specked label is written in Portuguese where Pål Waaktaar has been credited and the song has been given the number 62989065.

Canada

The time printed on the 7" is (3:38), the time of the edit version of the song, but it actually plays the regular version. Like many of the Canadian releases, they come in a white WEA sleeve. The promo has promotional text printed on the record label and has a small hole in the centre.

France

The US-made front of the picture sleeve features different writing compared to the UK 7"-release. The a-ha-logo is green, while the song-title has been printed in a slightly different style of handwriting and in larger red letters. The reverse features a red a-ha-logo and the song-title printed in green. The band-shot has been omitted and there is no mention of the b-side track "This Alone Is Love".

Germany

The reverse of the 7" picture sleeve is slightly different to the UK issue in that the German issue only features the landscape picture and not the group-shot. Also the German copy only lists the single title "I've Been losing You" and not the b-side "This Alone Is Love". The text concerning copy right is also situated differently. The cover of the 12" is identical to the Australian release.

Italy

Some copies of the 7" come with a questionnaire including a small advert for the mini-album "Twelve Inch Club" and a bigger black and white a-ha group-shot. The version of the title track found on the 7" is actually the edited version (3:38) which seems to be the same as the album version except that it fades at an earlier stage.
