I think maybe CBS (if the record company had the last word) wouldn't allow him to include the song on the album. Maybe they thought the lyrics were too controversial (for 1986 anyways). The lyrics are kind of vitriolic, after all. LOL, maybe they thought he had wrote them about the record company, sort of.
I think this song would have fit better on Balance Of Power than, say, Endless Lies.
I just got the re-issue of Balance Of Power. The outtakes , to me, sound like what Jeff REALLY wanted the album to sound like. I think he just got sick of the record label & just released it to get it out there. ELO is my FAVE band, but felt a little empty when I purchased this back in Feb '86
Bonito y breve solo de Tandy (supongo) a los teclados. Me parece que el que eligió los temas para Balance of Power se lució... Dejó fuera buenos temas y metió algunos churros
it would be perfect for a Bond movie

This is what Jeff sounds like when he's bored.

This is the best outtake of the song, better than Caught In A Trap, good as it is. Love ELO, love the Balance Of Power remaster!
