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

The single was 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 [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1649086]embossed coin motif on a silver foil sleeve[/url]. 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 [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1813426]non-reflective and featured a grey back[/url]. A [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1813429]third issue[/url] 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'.
