About the song
Two slightly different versions of this song were released.
The 7" b-side version features the complete intro with Stewart Copeland playing hi-hat before the kick/snare beat.
The version on Message In A Box: The Complete Recordings loses the hi-hat opening, the song starts with the kick/snare beat.
Later releases on Flexible Strategies or the Ghost In The Machine picture disc feature the hi-hat again.
