Despite the promising pedigree, the Damage Manual is best forgotten.....tho' they originaly asked Lydon to be vocalist (he declined, of course). That might've been a bit more interesting (basically Metal Box era PiL with Geordie in for Keith Levene). Alas, `twas not to be.

So is this "12 inch version" really any different than the album version? They're roughly the same time (a bit over 6 minutes) - I know the 7" version is 4:30 but that's clearly an edit of the LP version.

You seem to dislike my posts. I suggest you don't read them.

It's hard to know: Can anyone tell the two versions of "This is not a love song" off the 12" apart?

Anyway, I was lucky enough to get "Rise" as an advance white label 12" (instrumental version on the other side), and was all "This Is Tremendous!!" and wanted to take it that night to the After Dark club for the DJ to play. But they'd have probably just ignored me/it (or nicked it) so I didn't.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall while they were working up their version of 'Satisfaction', just to witness the whole process behind it!
