Tell me about the picture above.

It's very similar, but not the same, as on the record I bought (I think it was a 12" single".

But it's just as spooky.

The only other cover I've seen was a re-drawn close-up of the helmeted girl + killer teddy on a white background.

Is that the one?

This song, more punk and honest than most, more biting and honest than most. It inflates and empowers, like the blues; and, like the blues, fills your glass with tap water so you can taste all of life, not some distilled version. I love this song. I love this band.

Magnificent band, the jewel in Manchesters crown, along with Joy Division. This music encapsulates the time perfectly, Britain in decline, and nowhere to hide. You can shove Madchester up yer rickers, this is what truly represents true Mancs, and real music connosieurs. Dug mcleod

I, for one, think that whoever you are IndieAnnieJones, your videos tend to rock and the commentator a couple of rows down is an idiot. :)

I watched this movie "Beneath the Dark" and this was the song playing at the end of the credits and it truly embodied the movie in fullness, blended the ending scene and the viewers imagination together with ease.
