That version that's on the Movement Definitive Edition on the extras CD.Been giving it a few spins lately.It's as good as if not better than the actual released 1982 7" IMHO.It has an ever so slightly lighter feel than than the released 7" i think.Steve's drums are a little less heavy to my ears.On the released version i sometimes feel the production on the drum sound was a little too loud/heavy.On the alternate mix i'm sure the end result on Steve's drum sound is a bit nicer.Maybe just me, dunno.The twiddly sequencer(s?) on the track (?) is/are a bit lighter and airier (and perkier?) too, to my ears.Or maybe some people can't tell the difference...? I'm sure on the outro Bernard plays a note or two different on his guitar to the released version, also guitar parts elsewhere have a slightly different feel .Thoughts? Bothered? Not bothered? What is that Fotz weirdo on about ?

I know the original 7 inch really well after all these years, but to be honest, if I hadn't known the one on the bonus disc was an alternate version, I'd've mistaken it for a remaster of the original 7 inch!
Must give it another spin and a closer listen!

This?
and we're comparing to this?
At the moment I'm leaning towards Mr Discography's thoughts. But it's late. Maybe I'll listen with "fresh ears" tomorrow.
I do appreciate all versions -- apart the current live arrangement -- the 1987 one being my favourite, since it was the first one I've heard
