Nope, it's an unreleased track. It shows up in a few places when they were playing the Snakedrill material. As far as I know there is no studio version of it. I heard that it wasn't released because it was too "pop". I don't have any excellent recordings of it, so I don't know most of the lyrics, but the song is about Bruce and Graham's performance art. > has anyone got any cd/vinyl bootlegs ? I heard of a CD-R bootleg of which only 2 copies were made, but that doesn't really count. I suspect that as CD burners become more common, we'll be seeing a lot more of these. But there are several vinyl bootlegs. You mentioned TATTTTP and LIL. I've got "The Legendary Manchester Wire" 12", which is just a lousy recording of the 1st Peel Session. There's also the "Not About To Die" LP (mostly released on BTC) and the "Comeback In Two Halves" LP (some live show - Montreax, if I remember).

A friend lent me this, and since I already have a decent Wire/related CD collection (23, probably makes me a minor leaguer on this list, eh?), I was hoping to extract _just_ the tracks I don't have. Going thru the list of tracks in the insert, it seems that the only non-CD album tracks are Kidney Bingos 7" and In Vivo 7". Kidney Bingos sounds like the album version, and there's no album version on the list, so I'm guessing that these are really the same. This means In Vivo 7" is the only non-CD album track. Am I right? Is this insert an accurate listing of all of their Enigma/Mute output?
