USA 7" [Suicide Squeeze S005]
This is one of two variations of the original Division Day 7" on Suicide Squeeze (see entry below for the other version). It comes in a fold out sleeve. Unlike some of the previous 7" singles, the inside of the sleeve is blank and doesn't have lyrics or anything. This pressing is almost idential to the entry below this one. However, this record has the catalog number listed on the labels as S005 (the entry below lists the catalog number as S-005). This version has the song title printed a little bigger than the other version. And the "side A 45 RPM S005" section of the label is printed less bold than the other one. Matrix info according to Discogs:
- Matrix / Runout (Side A, Etched): S-005-A L-48745
- Matrix / Runout (Side B, Etched): S-005-B L-48745-X
- Matrix / Runout (Side A, Stamped): SAE MASTERING

USA 7" [Suicide Squeeze S-005]
This is the second variation of the original 7" pressing. The main difference is that the catalog number is listed on the record labels as S-005 (as opposed to S005 on the entry above). The song titles on the record labels are also smaller than the other version. And the info with the side, speed, and catalog number on the labels is bolder than the version above. See photos below for all the differences on the labels. Everything else seems to be identical. Matrix info according to Discogs:
- Matrix / Runout (Side A, Etched): S-005-A L-48745
- Matrix / Runout (Side B, Etched): S-005-B L-48745-X

The record obviously differs from the original in that this one is clear vinyl. Also, the labels on the records are a much different style.

The A-side also says "Test Pressing" on it (see photos). Matrix info taken from the record:
Side A: S-005-RE-A CJH Welcome to 1979

USA CD [Suicide Squeeze S005CD; barcode begins with 7, 2000 reissue]
Besides the 7", Division Day was also released as a CD single by Suicide Squeeze. However, the CD version wasn't released until 2000. There are two very similar pressings of the CD but they have a few minor differences. This is the one with the barcode that begins with a 7. The artwork is basically the same as the 7" but adapted to slimline CD case format. Other than the barcode being different than the other CD pressing, the main difference is that this pressing says "Nail Distribution & Duplication" on the foldover part of the artwork (see photo). The pressing whose entry is below does not say this. Matrix info according to Discogs:
- Barcode: 7 51937 13332 2
- Matrix / Runout: UDA-SNA-7609030 NAIL DUPE.INC.888.624.5462
- Mastering SID Code: IFPI SA25

USA CD [Suicide Squeeze S005CD; barcode begins with 8, 2000 reissue]
One of two similar but slightly different CD pressings of Division Day, along with the entry above. Although the 7" single came out in 1997, the CD didn't come out until 2000. This pressing has a different barcode than the one above, this barcode starts with 8. Also some different info on the matrix numbers. The most recognizable difference is that this one does not say "Nail Distribution & Duplication" on the artwork as the pressing above does. Matrix info according to Discogs (only barcode listed):
Barcode: 803238000527
------------------------------------------------------
Canada CD [Suicide Squeeze S005CD]
This CD is very similar to the US CD listed above that has a barcode beginning with 8. Besides having the same barcode as that particular US pressing, it also is missing the "Nail Distribution & Duplication" text on the artwork, which does appear on the US CD that has a barcode beginning with 7. This one differs from the US CD with barcode 8 in two ways. First, the jewel case has a "Made in Canada" sticker on it. Second, the matrix on the CD says "Made in Canada by Americ Disc". This matrix is probably the best way to identify a copy from Canada since jewel cases can get switched or stickers can come off jewel cases. Presumably this came out in 2000 when the other CD single versions were released. Barcode and matrix info taken from Discogs:
- Barcode: 8 03238 00052 7
- Matrix / Runout: 0BCX8<0241>S005CD MADE IN CANADA BY AMERIC DISC
- Mastering SID Code: IFPI L489
