Notes

Allegedly this single by music journalist Vivien Goldman was recorded when "PiL snuck her into the Manor (studios)" during the Flowers Of Romance sessions in late 1980, with PiL also reportedly paying for most of the recording costs. It seems this is how Lydon earned his co-producer credit.

Steve New (aka Shooz) plays "drum bits" on the A which was presumably recorded at the same time as PiL's 'Pied Piper', which featured New on guitar.

Private Armies Dub also appears on the first New Age Steppers LP so presumably the rhythm section on the B is from the On-U camp.

This is basically the same as the UK 7" with the addition of the "PA Dub" track on the B.
