A studio version of the original 1982 recording (sans 1983 overdubs) was released in 2019 as the first track on the ''Vault Tracks part 2'' disc of a ''Super Deluxe Edition'' edition of the [[Album: 1999 Deluxe|1999]] album. | |||
A new version, started from scratch, was cut with [[The Revolution]] in August 1983 at [[The Warehouse]] in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. It was a hot day and they kept running into power outage problems while attempting to record. In the end the session was stopped. But it is likely the song was committed to tape in the same setting at a later date. This version however also remains unreleased. | A new version, started from scratch, was cut with [[The Revolution]] in August 1983 at [[The Warehouse]] in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
