In 1983 there was a reissue with four different sleeves.
• The 4 leporello sleeves each have a different cover image, taken from a series of shipyard paintings, credited accordingly on the back of each sleeve.
Cover images (with 'Riggers' or "Riveters' credit on back) are:
2) [Rg1] Riggers 1 (Men with ropes) (opens in a new tab)
3) [Rg2] Riggers 2 (Man and woman with tarpaulins) (opens in a new tab)
4) [Rv1] Riveters 1 (Men hammering rivets) (opens in a new tab)

• These 4 sleeves have a pale yellow text with colored drop shadow;
"Robert Wyatt” - Red drop shadow.
"Shipbuilding • Memories Of You” - Green drop shadow.
• Each 7" sleeve is printed on one side only, with 3 vertical folds, creating 4 pages-to-view [known in the print trade as a 'leporello']. It is 'roll-folded' around vinyl as follows; Cover opens to one side, revealing a facing page that opens to the other side. This reveals the vinyl in a white paper liner inserted into the 4th panel (which is tab-glued top & bottom to create [e.g] a ⅓rd of page wallet (opens in a new tab)).
The disc liner has only one punch-hole, revealing the disc's green paper label.
