- INNERSLEEVE: Plain white paper innersleeve, die-cut from the other side only to show the center label (probably the original innersleeve).
- RELEASED: Probably originally released in 1984 though based on the runouts this might be a repress.
- NOTE: This is a excellent quality though slightly stuffy sounding vinyl.
In fact this is one of the best quality (if not even THE best quality) Finnish made vinyl I have ever played.

- COVER: folded rough-surfaced white paper cover with green text, both sides are identical
- RELEASED: Released in late 1978.
- OTHER: Quite heavy vinyl with push-out center hole, limited to 700 copies.
- NOTE 1: Epe refused to release this song as a normal single so, as a compromise, Jee Jee was released as a normal single and this one as a freebie spread during
the late 70s shows. Apparently this was also handed out as an extra with some green vinyl copies of Maximum Jee & Jee album.
- NOTE 2: This is one of the rarest (but definitely not THE rarest) Eppu releases and usually priced ridiculously high.
- NOTE 3: Based on the vinyl weight, vinyl quality and runouts this was made by the same company as the '78 editions of Poliisi pamputtaa taas and Jee Jee singles.

- COVER: folded matt-surfaced picture paper cover,
010 in a rectangular box printed on the back cover
- RELEASED: Released on 17th of September 1979 (source: Poko Rekords' website).
- OTHER: Originally seems to have included push-out center though I've never seen this single with one.
This is first Eppu single with matt-surfaced cover (the previous four singles were released with folded rough-surfaced cover paper).
This is also the first Eppu single to have 010 in a rectangular box printed on its cover.
- NOTE: Neither song on this single appears on any Eppu Normaali studio album but the A-side song was later released on the compilation Reppu 2 in 2003 and
the B-side song was later released on the compilation Hatullinen paskaa in 1984.

- COVER: matt-surfaced picture paper cover (not folded)
- RELEASED: Originally released on 12th of December 1979 (source: Poko Rekords' website) though this one is a second issue with correct front cover released later.
- OTHER: Originally seems to have included push-out center though I've never seen this single with one.
This is, again, on heavier vinyl most likely made by the same company that made the first three Eppu singles.
Also, this is the first Eppu single to have a normal pouch-like picture sleeve (all the previous five Eppu singles were released with folded cover paper).
- NOTE: The first edition of this single has almost black front cover image with barely visible outlines, a new imaging technique was tested on it but obviously it failed.
The first edition with dim front cover art is one of the rarest Eppu releases (I've only seen two for sale) though the dim cover was used for the 2003 CD single box.
