The 6th single was unique - it featured a previously unreleased mono version of The Bed's Too Big Without You and a live verson of Truth Hits Everybody (live in Boston, 1979-11-27).

Variants, special editions and re-releases

The Japanese version of this Six Pack was the same as the UK's, only a sticker had been added.

A lot of the UK's singles were mis-pressed.

Several singles were printed on black vinyl instead of blue. Some singles had the wrong label or even the wrong song on them!
