I never understood why they buried this track at the end of Tighten Up Vol. ’88. It’s a fine defense of BAD’s music: play what you like, don’t listen to the critics. The 12-inch (which I’ve attempted to scan here using Photoshop Elements PhotoMerge feature) includes an extended remix (basically the 4:10 original with a dub version tacked on) and an interesting remix by Greg Roberts that changes the sound slightly with mostly the same results. You can probably live without hearing the mixes, although I obviously couldn’t.
