@honkynel I'm pretty sure the Babes in Arms version is earlier, at least.

Bob Seger and some members of the Rationals helped provide some of the percussion on this song. I LOVE this album!

[honkynel]

Still awesome but there's none of the patter at the start and i've heard far better mixes.

is this how it was originally released?!..........massive fade out too :-(
