Format Info:
Originally issued as a 3" CD; then re-issued as 5".
The 3" edition was issued in a cardboard sleeve, and the 5" in a plastic case. Both editions keep the original PiL logo artwork.

The 5" edition is often peddled as a German import, however it is a straight 5" re-issue of the 1988 3" version.

Track Info:
Tracks are the same as the original 12" version. The lead track is a slightly different mix than the version on 'Commercial Zone' with more keyboards, and less guitar. This is the mix which prompted Keith Levene's departure from the band. The original 'Commercial Zone' version is also included; listed as a 'remix'. 'Blue Water' is also featured on 'Commercial Zone'.

Trivia:
The 3" edition needed a plastic adaptor to play on some CD players. The format soon died out; hence the 5" reissue.

The sleeve still incorrectly states the studio as South Park, rather than Park South.

Quotes:
It was all very tongue-in-cheek. At the time, people were saying that that I'd joined big business and become a bourgeois shit. So I thought the best way of tackling this would be to pump out a song saying that's exactly what I am, tongue firmly in cheek. And that kind of stopped that nonsense, so it worked.
- John Lydon, Volume 3 CD/Book 1992
