The instrumental mix of Something In My House on this single is the same as that on the original Something In My House 12″, only the stereo channels are reversed! Also the instrumental mix edit has the stereo channels reversed.

I have the CD picture disc of this single, and on it, there are two additional seconds at the start of the instru-mental mix of Something In My House. You can hear them here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qrm3yDLjXw

Thanks, again, Paul! Such a risqué sleeve for 1988 😉 It might even get banned by today’s Facebook standards.

Again, many thanks, Paul. A very underrated record IMO that should have done much than it did in the UK charts.

I, myself, have always thought of Dead or Alive Music as disco anyways 🙂
