THIS has just gone up on Youtube. Sounds a bit different to the version we're all familiar with...

This sounds very similar to the released 45, the main differences being that the falsetto vocal is a bit low in the mix and the low-pitched spoken words are missing.
There's a nasty little click (mainly in the left channel) at around 2:20. It was soon repaired with the excision of three-thousandths of a second of the audio.

It was introduced as a 'mystery' single for a panel of various musos and music industry people to try and guess who it was. The comments ranged from sort of "ok" with one person commenting that it "sounded like a group of session musicians"! I did like the single from a personal viewpoint, but they followed up with 'Run Billy Run' which just stretched the genre too far (my opinion for what it's worth).

I missed out on hearing this demo version - which has now disappeared from youtube.
