The 12" promo for "Raspberry Beret", like the other singles from this album, is special in that it has its own unique artwork on the picture sleeve. Of course that artwork is limited to a dark red background, pink lettering and some trippy fonts, but it's still quite different from the commercial release and unique to this one 12".
The back of the sleeve is blank. The labels on the actual record are the standard Warner Bros. blanks. They feature a full color version of the logo on top and then more WB logos appearing as watermarks across the face of the label.
The Paisley Park logo appears on the left hand side of the label just above the serial number and the words, "Promotional Copy. Not For Sale." The track repeats on both sides and is the single edit of the song. The record plays at 33 1/3 RPM. Prince is the composer of the track and this promo is limited to the American market. The Paisley Park logo also appears on the front cover of the sleeve.

The promotional 7" vinyl of "Raspberry Beret" has the single version of the song repeating on both sides.
Unlike the commercial single, the promo label uses the generic Warner Bros. label with the wording printed over the top. The Warner Bros. logo appears on the right side of the label in full color and then repeats as a watermark across the face of the label.
The words, "Promotion Not For Sale" appear above the color Warner logo and the Paisley Park logo is on the left side just below the time listing.
This promo single was issued in the commercial sleeve and in a generic Warner Bros. Records sleeve.
Prince is the author of the track and the record shares the same serial number as the commercial single.

This is the commercial 7" vinyl single for "Raspberry Beret", the 1st official single from "Around The World In A Day".
As with the subsequent singles from this album, the cover artwork features a close up of a character from the original album jacket. The label on the inside is a colorful paisley motif while the b-side label is a blue sky with some clouds. Both labels show the Paisley Park label as does the jacket.
Prince is listed as the composer of both songs.
