This edition says West End Girls (Dance Mix) on the A-side label. The B-side label correctly credits Steven Spiro for the first track.
Runout etchings indicate Allied & Sheffield metal work only, no mention of SP (Specialty). Some copies have a stamper impression A near the center hole on one or both sides, further indicating Allied pressing.
