Notable differences on printed labels:
- Ernst Pistulla is the cover star on printed CD and vinyl Étienne labels for Spent The Day In Bed and Low In High School.
- The "Drum Major Leading Parade In" photo (Photos.com by Getty Images) on printed CD and vinyl Étienne labels for California Son and I Am Not A Dog On A Chain is credited to George Marks (date unknown).
Speaking to Billboard Magazine in 2017, Morrissey said of the label:
You’re creating your own label, Etienne, for this release – how involved are you in the business end of that? Has it been more work or less work than you expected? Is it enjoyable?
Whatever happens in the world, music is for eternity. It’s a great pleasure and very healthy to produce and create, and I’d love to expand Etienne and sign up music that counts. Not marketing nonsense, but artists whose lives depend upon singing and playing music. They count in the long run.
