I don't think it's "ultra rare" to be honest, you can always find a copy somewhere for £20-30 average. I've got a sealed copy in my collection but I believe there are at least 3 or 4 different variations of it. A few orange day-glo ones with different coloured lettering and a yellow day-glo one. The orange/silver lettered one seems to be the most common.
I think the yellow one is the rarest as I've never seen it (or I would've bought it) 
I haven't tried chucking mine in the bath yet but I'm sure it does float.

I did see a copy of the yellow one in a record shop in the silver arcade in Leicester many years back.
Didnae purchase as the gadgi wanted £50 for it,bugger.
One with the blue titles is slightly rarer than the silver titled one.

Ally....did you just give a straight answer to a straight question?
Shame on you.
Turn round! (/me write number in book). Don't let it happen again.
To the OP.........
What my esteemed (and temporarily insane it seems) colleague MEANT to say was.......
Only 17 of them were ever made. Two were accidentally eaten by Fat Bob at an awards ceremony (he thought they were pies), and a further three were believe destroyed when a meteorite struck Hooky's Jag. Legend has it that if the 12 remaining copies are ever brought together, Ian Curtis will rise from the dead and begin a world wide reign of terror.
I'm not convinced there was a yellow copy. I tried to scan my orange copy once and it came out yellow. Some scanners have a problem with dayglo colours. Same thing happened with some of the US 12" promos that had dayglo green stickers.
