Produced by John Porter, the song became an important part of the band’s mid-1980s catalog and this U.S. release also appeared on the American 12-inch singles chart. This maxi-single pairs the 6:43 long version with “Girl Afraid” and a 3:53 alternate U.S. edit that differs from the UK 7-inch mix.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollector Note\u003cbr\u003eThis is the 1984 U.S. Sire 0-20284 \/ 9 20284-0 A three-track 12\" 45 RPM maxi-single pressed by Specialty Records Corporation.
