Montreuil Offset - Imprimé en France

Released in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeve.
Black & white sticker on front sleeve:
"Best of The Cure 13 titres inclus Boys Don't Cry - 
Charlotte Sometimes - The Lovecats - Close To Me *** 829 239-1"

A very similar French version, the main sleeve was also printed by Imp. Polygram, doesn’t read any ‘ARUN’ credit on the run-out grooves, but a different unknown DM cut, instead. Finally, the main sleeve of this third different French version was printed by a different company, not Imp. Polygram as credited on this one.
