I love this song too but evidently Siouxsie DESPISES it and everything about recording it. Something about the producer...she didnt even want it released because she didnt want him to make a dime off of it.
Apparently (so says wiki), the band absolutely hates the producer they worked with on this song, and never want his name to appear in conjunction with them again. This includes reissues, compilations, etc. Hang on to your 12"s.
So true.I never understood why this single was seemingly erased after release.By erased,I mean that The Banshees themselves appeared to want to forget it ever existed.
How could this song only get to #59 on the charts? WTF???

23 yrs is a long time to hate a song this gorgeous. :( The JVC version just isn't the same. Maybe it's time for a new singles collection...?

Maybe NASA should play this song for the whole universe to hear..Song from the Edge of the Universe!
Yes, two versions of the song can heard on these CDs
1. Tinderbox (remastered and expanded edition)..original 3 min. version
2. The Best of (limited edition) extended 7 min version

I would put this in my top 10 Banshees songs, and only hardcore fans know about it! It's like a secret treasure.

Apparently, there's a previously unreleased version of this song included in the banshees Tinderbox reissue to follow in the spring.

SIOUXSIE IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, HER VOICE IS AMAZING, ONLY VOCALIST THAT COMES CLOSE IS KATE PEARSON (B-52's)......

Such a beautiful song and video! Criminally underrated. I've been lucky to have my 12" all these years.

this song really needs a proper release on CD. Perhaps a bonus track on one of the upcoming remastered albums? Looking Glass? Peepshow?
