I prefer, LOVE, the version from the impossible to find 390 Degrees of Simulated Stereo. Totally different chorus and melody. The MP3 I found of it was very clean. No way was it a lift from the record. But I don't think it's been released officially still.
I've loved this version since I heard it on single around 1979 or 80. And YES it's a lot better than the original. Great guitar playing... and that voice. 'What's the joke?And then we laugh....'
This is a live version. It's the flip side of 'The Fabulous Sequel (Have Shoes, Will Walk)' single. The studio version is the last song on 'Modern Dance'. I'm not sure which version is better but purchasing 'Modern Dance' and 'Terminal Tower' will get you both and better your music collection considerably. Note the word 'purchase'. These artists aren't rich and could use the honestly earned income.
This is great...it sounds live. I got a chance to see them at The Hot Club in Philly right after Modern Dance and before Dub Housing. They played from both lps. Then 25 years later, they came to the North Star(Philly) and played from the whole catalogue...freakin' awesome! They all hung around after the show and I had a chance to talk to DThomas. Great Guy. Pere Ubu really can do no wrong.
<3!!!
