Notes
Much like David Bowie's "Heroes", the song title "Meet El Presidente" actually incorporates quotation marks to denote either irony or actual speech. Additionally, El Presidente, being a non-English phrase, is italicized when properly typeset in English.
On Discogs, we don't have the option of entering italics, but the quotation marks can be entered with standard typewriter quotes (") or guillemets (« and ») as needed.

Reviews
referencing Meet El Presidente (12", 45 RPM) 12 TOUR 1
I think that this is a really nice suite of songs, although to some degree I prefer the album version of Meet El Presidente, the extended remix, dub mix and single remix up the funk and groove of the song. The horns and base on this track are fantastic and the pressing really allows this to shine. Moreover, the B-side, Vertigo (Do The Demolition), is without a doubt one of the best songs from the album and it works well set against Meet El Presidente.
