A similar version of 'Another' entitled 'Not Another' appeared on Wobble's 'Betrayal' album.

Quotes:
There's this normal Spanish guitar thing that goes dun-da-da-dun da-da-dun. It's one of the first things I learned to play on guitar - very simple. I was very fond of that. The song came about in the studio, starting with Wobble. I thought it was a fucking joke - it sounded like an advert for a woman with a vacuum cleaner. I looked at Richard like I wasn't going to do anything but he thought that he meant he should play, so he did. I thought 'I know what' I'll do' so I played that tune.
- Keith Levene, Perfect Sound Forever 2001
