Notes

Generic green 12" maxi-single sleeve with full color sticker of Robert Smith and the single's title.
A generic plain red color sleeve version with the same sticker also exists.

Misprint: sticker on the sleeve states the title as "Why Can't I Be With You?".
Side A label has the correct title as "Why Can't I Be You?"
