Very interesting. Since this hard to find dub is so "cool" and so very few will get to own it or hear it, how about someone posts it somewhere? Its been 22 years time for everyone to enjoy it!

Also, read DomCasual's reply to my review above: Mercury issued at least three, possibly more than four other promo 12" singles this same way in the mid-1980s. Identical center labels, no further information. Must've been for DJ use since the labels are unmarked. These are all official promos, not bootlegs. I can fully verify that the "dub" version must've had access to the master tapes, the elements of the song are treated separately, it's really a cool, spacious dub. :)

I owned it. It is genuine. Not fake. Check the matrix information from the runout grooves. :)

Firstly, this is an amazing single by Lindsey Buckingham, from his now mostly forgotten second solo LP, "Go Insane". But more specifically, this is a really odd, hard to find promo version for the UK maxi single(?) that was never released, as far as I know. It features the same "Extended Remix" as on the German and Netherlands versions of the single, but also has a strange instrumental dub version that doesn't appear anywhere else. It's definitely done at the same time as those mixes, 1984, and the vinyl itself is marked with the correct catalog numbers for the label and era. However, Lindsey's name doesn't appear anywhere on the vinyl itself, and it was issued with a generic sleeve. Highly confusing, and it's extremely difficult to imagine anyone finding a copy of this and knowing what it was, so there are likely a few copies floating around in the collections of folks, languishing in dust, never to be heard. Sadly! The dub version is great. In my fantasy, there'd be a properly remastered deluxe version of the "Go Insane" album issued with a second disc of demos, all the remixes, and possibly live tracks.

Well done, and very intriguing. It's interesting, this unlabeled UK 12" phenomenon. There's to my knowledge at least three other 12" singles from the UK that boast an identical centerlabel and an almost total lack of accompanying info. The strange part is how dissimilar the records themselves are: you have this 1984 12" on Mercury, a 1986 12" by The Damned on MCA, and a 1985 promo 12" by Madonna on Sire. {I'm aware of a fourth but the artist escapes me at the moment.} Business-wise, it would stand to reason that these were all licensed to one UK company for release (Mercury?), but one wonders how many other UK 12"s were released in this manner. At least, that's worth wondering, since asking "why?" is almost certainly totally futile.
