The record company rejected this version? Dickheads!!! CBS. Think this version is better than the put-out one-Thanks for putting this on.

[MrGreengoddess]

Good song to run to ...................

[nevets4ever]

Hugh here sounds strangely like Jim Kerr from the Simple Minds, another great 80s band.

[crownprinceofgroovy]

Why the record company rejected this is a mystery to me.

[LabiaLicker1]

@crownprinceofgroovy Probably `cos they`re a bunch of suited cunts???

[MegaBigernie]

fuckin brill bass...... awesome

[GANGARENE]

Sounds like JJ's Triumph Bonnerville at the start giving it "Vroom Vroom"...

[denceflor]

[djscotty1111]

[craigybus1]

This is brilliant 120 carat gold :)

[Moneo]

I think ive commented on this before, but holy shit, this is piece of gold!

[fortheloveoftunes]

Love the funny cute guitar-riffs by The Stranglers way to go!

[captaincrap1995]

I think this is better than cement mix

[reddragdiva]

What was the source of this copy - the cassette? Or was it released or available as a promo some other way?

[online007man]

This song is just great as well as original and remix!

[doublemandala]

When I first heard "Skin Deep" (at 16) by the Stranglers, I was blown away.

[MoveOverCasanova]

i was quite the same age, but i must say i was just badly delighted that at least two tracks (Skin deep, no mercy) on aural sculpture saved the album. I took it all very serious back then. lousy albums from my favourite bands puzzled me deeply:-))

i find it much better today

[deadbydayinblack]

nice one, always wanted to hear this. And now with the lack of any tape player I thought I never would.

Another top stranglers video for you man.

[deadbydayinblack]

Actually I do have a wee request. You seem like the kind man you might have it. (

I would do it myself if I had a usb turntable...I still might have to )

But if you have the b side of All Hung up by

Gaye Bykers on Acid. Its called "Afternoon tea with Dave Greenfield".( i think)

and it was rather entertaining from what I recall

[SteveResin]

That one slipped under my radar. If I find it I will let you know.

[captaincrap1995]

Would be  very interested to hear!

[Moneo]

I really like this version.

[d72jjpilc]

Creepy, crawly pipe organ sounds are what I like about this version of 'No Mercy.' Why it was 'rejected,' I can't say - I like it. Then again, just my opinion, as always. Great band from a great year - 1984!

[ricknblack]

this is on the cassette of 12 inchs released by mistake still got it somewhere

[tonedial]

I wonder where that ear is nowadays..

[gerdenshed]

Top class my friend :-)
