I have a '92 or '93 release of this track on a Network label (UK
acid/bleep label that disappeared around '94) 12".  It has a couple of
bleepy remixes and then the original in full glory.  The vinyl is clear
and center label orange, sorry I don't remember the cat #....  I have to
wonder if the bassdrum is as big on the original pressing, since the track
sounds like it has '93 mastering rather than '83...

no Robert Gordon remix tho'  ;-(
