Picture cover

[edit]

The single had quite a distinctive picture sleeve e.g. [1], which I think could be uploaded and used in the infobox? Martinevans123 (talk) 19:51, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Have added an image of the shaped picture disc single. The image is rotated so that it mimics the standard single's cover art, notwithstanding that it appears EMI flopped the artwork for this side (the A-side) of the disc. Pololei (talk) 17:22, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Have replaced the image for one with the illustrated subject facing left (rather than right). This is arguably more authentic given that the artwork is flopped on the disc. Also, the lighting in the illustration now comes from above rather than below, which is more natural. Otherwise, I've improved colour correction (using the cover art on James Marsh's website as a reference) and removed some compression loss. Pololei (talk) 17:20, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think you've done a great job. Many thanks for your efforts! Martinevans123 (talk) 18:12, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It needed doing! Pololei (talk) 19:38, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Duration of 1986 single release

[edit]

The Australian, Beneluxian, French, Spanish and U.S. 1986 single releases of the edited version of "Living in Another World" all specify a duration of 4:11, either on the record label or sleeve. The German release states 4:14. (The UK release, and those in some other countries, don't specify a duration.) The duration of the B-side ("For What It's Worth") is given on the French release as 5:15 and on the German release as 5:17. (Unlike the A-side's, the B-side's duration is typically omitted.)
