Slimline vs Jewel

[motorways]

What CD singles came in both a slimline and Jewel case?
And is it the difference between UK and US releases? or were there both versions for UK releases?
And I'm mainly concerned with all releases prior to 'You Are The Quarry'

Thanks.

i always thought the slimline ones were UK IMPORTS.

jewel case, DOMESTIC.

That was what I was thinking. So did all the early singles have the two different cases?

i think they were released both ways.

the first morrissey single i ever purchased was Our Frank and it was the digitak us edition. i remember thinking i had stumbled upon something when i was the UK version years later.

that's one of the few that has a different sleeve for US vs UK.

Nothing was ever released in both types of cases for a same country. Throughout the nineties Morrissey singles were released in slimline in the UK, Holland, etc and jewelcases or digipack in the USA.

"Sing Your Life" is released in the US as Digipack and Jewelcase.
Ask Mikael about that. The Jewelcaes is hard to find, if I remember correctly.

i've never seen a jewel case for SYL.
in the US, its the slimline cases (import) that are hard to find.

Yes, and "Sing Your Life" is not the only one like that. But the original question was about slimline and jewelcase.

I have several "Sing Your Life" in the jewell cases unopened. Does anyone else have the rare jewell case reworkings? I think "We Hate It.." is supposed to be floating around somewhere. Does anyone else know the other singles that got the reworking?
