  4. 12" With free poster. W8636TW Papa don't preach Extended version / Ain't no big deal / LP version. Sticker on sleeve

Some discographies will say there is a mispressed picture disc edition that plays the b-side in the wrong order. From my collection it is the black vinyl version with free poster that actually plays the b-side in the wrong order. I do not know if there is a correct version or if they are all like this. The regular 12" does however play correct.

Items from my personal collection.
