There are two other versions, both of which have the abrupt beginning HERE, and HERE, unlike this version which has a short guitar intro.
On the B-side label the band are individually credited, rather than as 'The Blockheads', but on the sleeve they are listed as 'ID And The Blocks'.
The A & B-sides of the labels are titled 'A Wing' & 'B Wing', in reference to institutionalisation.
In the B-side run-out matrix, the 'A', and '2' have been scratched-out.

Edited 3 months agoJudging by the A-side matrix written as "A-1", whereas the more well known version(s) listed in the release comments are "A-3" and higher increments, I think it’s safe to say this is the first commercially available mix thus pressing of the Hit Me single. The presumed later one has significant differences which sound like overdubs done at another date.
