never bettered or equaled

Brilliant song and the question if Sulk was better. It was more entrancely.

This song is pure drugs.

@chrisnoaro1 I'm listening to this today precisely because of those pages.

It is actually the standard Fourth Drawer Down version, the same as the A side of the 12".
"Q Quarters (Original)" is the version on the b-side. It's a lot more empty, just the bass, drums, that submarine sound and the freaky high pitched distortion, barely any vocal harmonies and no double tracking, the guitar intro is barely audible, however, the coughing is there.
The guitar and synths over the verses is missing. It's a great mix, well worth trying to get hold of a copy.
……. kymm00, thank you, thank you, THANK you for this treatment of Billy MacKenzie's otherworldly music. You're clearly an avid fan of The Associates, too. What a loss his passing was. I often visit the Be In Art site my(s)elf. Instant Facebook re-post. Cheers ~ (•8-o

@Clematisian Thank you for watching and sharing + for being one of the few appreciative fans of a band that deserved so much more!
