Song Notes: This version is actually another from the Coat Of Many Cupboards set—the unreleased one produced by XTC with Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley. It's a really well done production as those two are always doing, although, apparently with this one, XTC didn't really get on with Clive Langer, and instead it's mostly produced by XTC and Alan Winstanley. This version was kept off after the recording arrangement fell apart, and they felt it would be a weird political situation to have two cuts from the record produced by someone else. The album version by Hugh Padgham are both very good, too, but I prefer this one.
