I believe this track was only made available on the Japanese CD version of never cry another tear.

My question is 'Why'???

I think it's absolutely superb. Probably my second favourite Bad Lieutenant track (after Summer Days on Holiday). It's got a great guitar riff, a strong vocal melody from the Barnstar and actually pretty decent lyrics for pleasant change.

I personally feel it could have been released as a single here in the UK. But what's baffling is it isn't avsilanle anywhere (iTunes, YouTube, etc). The only way I have been able to listen to it is through torrent sites. Why?

It's classic NO syndrome. Gems like Let's Go (Waiting For So Long) or Freebass' The Tower get short shrift; dross like Raise The Pressure and The Other Two And You get media-heavy launches. Funny old world innit.

They did release it - in Japan. Order the CD. It's not like it has to come from fucking Pluto.

Thanks genius. Or maybe I could get return flights to Tokyo and pick a copy up (it would be quicker).

It was also available on the French limited edition 'FNAC' edition of the album.

There are a couple of copies for sale on Discogs here.

Depends how much you like the album but ten or eleven quid's not that much.

Coming from France should take 3-4 working days.

Dug out my Japanese copy to remind me of this track. It's alright. The highlight of the album for me was Running Out of Luck.

Regarding the release, did anyone else have a problem with the black paperboard slipcover being too tight over the jewel case? Is was a delicate act for me get the case out without tearing the slipcover.

I think it's sublime. HWD, Falling Trees and Split the Atom are my BL top 3... and they're all bonus tracks.

Just got this from amazon.co.uk. £17.45 incl vat for so called expedited delivery which still took a week, worth it though, it’s a great song which I’ve never heard before! (and I only had the album as a download) [:)]

HWD is a brilliant song. How Long is even better though, my favourite of the Jake sung BadL songs.
