There is also a box-sleeved "Special Limited Edition" available in the 7"-format. Professing to include colour postcards this release falls short of the expectations and as far as we know only offer black and white postcards. The front of this limited edition is identical to the regular release except the misguiding information printed in white capital letters right above the song-title. The reverse of this spined sleeve is plain white with track listing in small light purple letters and an envelope opening. This box-sleeved edition contains the regular picture sleeve and record.

 

The regular 12" release features the "Extended Version" (5:26) produced by Alan Tarney, in addition to the album versions of the 7"-single. Also available is a stickered limited edition 12" including a 22"x22" colour group-poster (Morten, Mags and Pål sitting on reels of tape- by John Paul) with light blue a-ha-logo in the top right-hand corner.

Another tasty item is a limited edition 12" picture disc featuring the same tracks as the regular 12" edition.

The front offers a colour group-shot (Mags, Pål and Morten - taken at the same photo session as the picture on the limited poster), while the a-ha-logo and the single-title is printed in light blue letters right below the centre of the record. The reverse has the same four shots as the 7" and 12"-releases on a light grey background. Sixteen small light blue a-ha-logos are printed all the way around the edges of the disc.

The 3" CD comes in a 5" jewel case with a black plastic adapter. The cover is as the 7" single only with a white border. The reverse of the insert is white with a large vertical grey a-ha-logo on the left and grey titles.

The German made CD is silver with dark grey titles, "a-ha" and WB-logos. The tracks on the CD are the album versions of "The Blood That Moves The Body", "There's Never A Forever Thing", the extended version of "The Blood That Moves The Body" plus the single version of "The Living Daylights".
