I’m stunned by how incredibly different these versions are from those on the USA 12-inch! Thanks for putting these into my ears. =)
you’re welcome Marty
YES!!! I LOVE the Cult!!! Thanks!
you’re welcome Dave
Claaaaaaaaasic! Thanks
My intro to the group and still my favorite song from them! I’d spent hours playing Dave Mirra BMX 2 while rotating between this song and Gang Starr’s “Moment Of Truth.” Thanks for the awesome share!
oh yeah!
