This version is an infinished mix of the 1998 single from the Callin All Box Set where it was printed a bit too fast, half a step too high in terms of pitch . .
The original single has a bit more reverb on the lead guitar and is slower (in that it's the correct speed)
Lillywhite's album mix is a remix of the original recorded tracks but quite bland with a 4 bar intro as opposed to 2.
That was freaking awesome. The tempo was picked up slightly. Lee's falsetto was clean. John's backing vocals had extra layers. Recording quality was supreme. If Lee had a hand in this it wouldn't surprise me. If he didn't have a hand in it, I wonder if he would approve. Miss these guys sooooo much.
My band met The La's in Lancaster Gate Hotel before this came out. They invited us up to their room for a smoke and a drink and we got to listen to their demo. I'm guessing I was one of the first people to hear this song. At the time I remember thinking WTF, this is a great song, I wasn't wrong!
something is off with this version ... it sounds like its sped up a bit or something ... look up the one from "polydorclassics" and compare with this one ... I think the polydorclassics one is more correct in terms of tempo.
@fishe153 The Callin All version (the audio thats playing) is different then the video. The video is from their 1988 single, i liked the cleaner box set version so i set the vid to the cleaner version.
Songs like this precious one never loose their lustre nor their scent of exctement .... i still feel like i was 15 and in love for the first time ... still sounds new to me and always will .
So sweet this song it's right many years gone but i llike to listen to it from time to time...

I think the quality of the video lends to the video. And the increase in tempo is barely noticeable. Good job!

@nightowl8936 This is true, however I downloaded the video online and it was clipping a lot so i did the best I could to smoothe it down.

@therealDanHeinlein Wait. So are you saying that the version of the song in this video isn't exactly the same as it is on the Callin' All Box set?

@therealDanHeinlein Thanks a lot! Where did you get the video from?

@therealDanHeinlein Hey Dan, just so you know the version on the box set is actually not the original single!
It's an earlier mix and it's half a pitch up and too fast due to how they transferred the tape. It's a good curio though.
I like that box set though, as I'm in the credits . . :D
