background
The Monitor Mix recording, which was committed to tape on the 18th May 1982, is extremely bass and drum heavy. This instrumental version doesn't differ much from the album version except for a count in and extended outro. It eventually fades out.

The Rough Mix from 30th May 1982 is also bass and drum heavy. Again, it's still an instrumental, and again it's much like the album mix except for the count-in and extended outro. It features a lengthy fade out.

The Instrumental was recorded on Reel 7 of the album's master tapes on the 3rd August 1982. It doesn't differ from the final recorded version.
