Album Info

Release Date: 1983-02

Labels: Polydor, Holden Caulfield Universal

This is numbered POSPD547 on the poster sleeve, the individual records inside are labeled POSP547 (the normal stock copy) and O.J.2 (not available separately), each with A/B side.

Track times are not listed but the A-Side is an edit of the album version Orange Juice - Rip It Up, clocking in a minute and a half shorter because it loses the start of the intro, the keyboard solo and the instrumental passage towards the end. The fade out with Paul Quinn's vocal ad-libs is also a bit shorter. It is also a slightly different mix, intended for radio - almost mono.

Track C is listed as a live version, but is really a new re-recorded studio version of the song from Orange Juice - Blue Boy / Love Sick

Track D is essentially the same recording as the one that appears on Orange Juice - Texas Fever except it fades out quickly after about 3 minutes, losing the long instrumental outro section
