- Though the 12" is my favourite way of playing this single, I also like the 7" jukebox version in luscious red vinyl, partly because of the irony of the B side (Stand by Your Man).
The jukebox single 7" is listed on a separate page because of having a different B side and being a jukebox single.

Format: Vinyl, 7", Jukebox, Red referencing The Crying Game (Cassette, Single) CIOCS 6
All that needs to be said is this is an amazing song. Great vocals by Boy George, over a beautifully crafted arrangement by the Pet Shop Boys. A simple note sequence and drum track in the background with a haunting, what I believe to be, bass melody and rich synth chords that just pour out over it.
'The Crying Game' is a tough act to follow and 'I Specialize in Loneliness' doesn't quite compare and has more an R'n'B quality, but it's a great song nonetheless. Again, great vocals from George.referencing The Crying Game (12", Promo) SPRO-04738
