Thanks Kruisspin, I have owned this since released, never knew that! I had just accepted it as avant-garde racket. And appreciated the irony of a racket entitled "Cowboy Song" - as I'm not a country music fan. A-side is, of course, an awesome piece of work.

quit rare first ever release of any PIL record in japan from february 1979, this single was released a month before the lp in 1979, this is not to easy to find anymore and has a great sleeve as you can see wich is very similar to the lp sleeve, nice japanese text and lyrics in english and an essay on the rear of the sleeve in japanese...

Does this re-issue have the locked groove on the b-side like the original?

for all the new generation punkers,the 'cowboy song' is a two channel recording on the left and right side of the groeve,there are two different songs just move your stereo knob to left or right and you hear two different mono versions,this was brilliant of them !

My single, has also the number VS 228, but has the "usual colours" of Virgin: green at one side and red on the other side.
