Paper labels deviate from Simple Minds - New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) as no rights society and different matrix.

A ~6:50 12" version was prepared using a slightly different mix with different drum fill panning, different intro synths, and added reverb. It was initially only released in 1983 on 12" in Italy (cat# VINX 1) and in the UK on a West German-made CD of the album. On reissues & compilations, it sometimes has the subtitle German 12" Mix or German 12" Remix, even though it was never released on 12" anywhere except Italy.
