NOTES

'Extended Souvenir' features an extra verse than the 7" version.

The original 10" sleeve is very different from the 7" release as it features the Dusseldorf street scene in full on the cover and also featured a sticker on initial releases. Later pressings shifted the picture up so that it 'bled' off the sleeve.

Some releases had purple text on the record labels and some had black text.

 

TRIVIA

The idea for the sleeve design for 'Souvenir' stemmed from the lyrical theme of the song, which suggested to designer Peter Saville a French arthouse film showing a blossoming romance between a boy and a girl.

Saville was after a picture that gave the impression of a French street cafe and the picture that caught his eye, taken from a photo library, revealed a view from a balcony onto a Dusseldorf street scene.
