    Pictures 8-13 are of my White Labels Test Press. Stamped & Etched Matrix. A truly Rare Copy I'd it to Discogs but I'm not sure how to. Yes It is 100% Bought from A Very Reputable Auction Room

      Is this a different mix or version than the one on Music for pleasure?

        They were playing four nights at the Marquee, but cancelled the third and fourth nights...and I had a ticket for the third night. A few years later I was at Rat Scabies' flat - he was living with an ex-girlfriend of mine - and I mentioned this to her...she reached under their bed and pulled out a box of these singles, and gave me a copy!

            Stiff would send a free copy of this single to anybody who wrote and requested one... while stocks lasted.

              I think the A-side is a different mix to the album - the backing vocals are the most noticeable change. B side cuts off well short of the version I have on CD.
