Notes

The North American 45s have two slightly different edits:
• MC24479E in the matrix = cuts such that at 0:21 it goes "you, vitriolic, patriotic"
• MC24640E in the matrix = cuts such that at 0:21 it goes "height, vitriolic, patriotic"
(the lyrics are hard to make out; officially it's 'height' and 'vitriolic' but sounds a bit like 'high' and 'histrionic')

Such a great song. Apparently Billy Joel sure liked it! Why REM never sued I have no idea. Guess life’s too short to waste their time.

There’s also a US promo with “Last Date” as the b-side. Am I just missing that entry, or is it not listed?

"It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)" go the lyrics, to this song. However, now it really perhaps IS the end of the world as we know it, due to Covid-19, I cannot help but disagree with the last bit. Because actually, I do not "feel fine" and I don't think Michael Stipe would either, if like me, he had been locked in the house for a whole month with just my mam for company!!

The picture shows a black printed promo logo on the sleeve. The record is the same for both Generic & Promo Generic CBS Sleeves.
