The Prince

The UK Tranco (paper label) and PRS pressings have slightly different endings to the UK Polygram and all the other 1979 releases. The UK pressings start to fade after ‘Bring Back The Prince…’ then a trebly keyboard swell fades in and out again (total time 2:32). All other versions have a slightly different mix and a bassy swell over ‘Prince’, then fade out (total time 2:27). That explains the time differences on the labels (some of which are incorrect anyway).
This 2 Tone version produced by Clive Langer is a different recording to the Stiff version produced by Langer and Winstanley.
