There is no number for the National Gay Task Force, but that didn't surprise
me since I assumed that it was a U.S. organization, and I wouldn't expect it
to appear with a Canadian-manufactured disc.  Does anyone have a copy of
the album imported from England?  Is the "age of consent" list present
on it?  (Canada is more archaic than the U.S. in at least some ways.
Ask me about the Ontario Censor Board sometime.)

There is also an EP that has Smalltown Boy on it along with a few other
songs.  Does it have any of this information on its sleeve?
(I've been told that the EP version of the song has a long introduction,
and is thus more interesting.  If I'd known that, I would have bought it
instead of the album.  Grr.)
