The one which started it all. Released as a while label run of 500 copies only. The original version slightly differs from the later releases on “1987” and “Shag Times” as it uses the original MC5/Beatles samples during the intro which in turn obviously made it difficult to release the single properly.
Just one month later its initial release lead to legal repercussions.
So far around a half of the initial pressing of 1,000 singles has been mailed out to well-known subversives on the press, radio and club scene, with stray copies exchanging hands for up to £30 in under-the-counter deals. That makes official calls for any existing copies to be destroyed something of an expensive proposition.NME, 11 Apr 1987
Cauty and Drummond would subsequently remove the samples in question to release a clean but not entirely sample-free All You Need Is Love (106bpm) shortly thereafter.
