If the one on "Shut Up And Listen" is different - then there will be five different versions of this - currently I know four.
The Radio Mix on the promo 12" is the same as the "Album Version" on the CD single. To confuse matters - the "Album Version" on the CD single is not actually the version on the album - the difference can be spotted in the first chorus. On the CD single you have a four line chorus - on the album it's edited to two lines.
The longer version here clocks in at almost eight minutes - so seeing a version at 6:12 intrigued me - although I know discogs descriptions are not 100% accurate.
All this - and it's my least favourite Wire track of all. Hearing the edits back to back was not a pleasurable experience - but I do so for the pleasure of completeness and the justification of being a Wire nerd.
Ah well - little bit of confusion just cleared up - Paul was getting his samplers mixed up - so the bid is still out there - if anyone has a "Shut Up And Listen" sampler pls give me a shout - long odds but if one doesn't ask I spose.....
For those with still a remote interest - after almost two months I tracked down a major Depeche Mode fan who had the "Shut Up And Listen" promo. He sent me the itunes screenshot and the soundfile - basically the version of "Life In The Manscape" is the version on the "Manscape" CD - the genuine album version - as opposed to the one that is labelled "album version" but isn't.
The 6:12 time is down to a wally who typed it in wrong on discogs. I've amended the discogs entry so no future Wire nerds will be having coronaries over the same typo.
