15:53 mins

Format Info:
Originally issued as a 3" CD; then re-issued as 5".
The 3" edition was issued in a cardboard sleeve, and the 5"
in a plastic case. Both editions keep the original PiL logo artwork.
The 5" edition is
often peddled as a German import, however it is a straight 5"
re-issue of the 1988 3" version.
Track Info:
Tracks are the same as the original 12" version.
Trivia:
The 3" edition needed a plastic adaptor to play on some CD
players. The format soon died out; hence the 5" reissue.
The sleeve still incorrectly
states the studio as South Park, rather than Park South.

Quotes:
It was all very tongue-in-cheek. At the time, people were saying
that that I'd joined big business and become a bourgeois shit. So
I thought the best way of tackling this would be to pump out a song
saying that's exactly what I am, tongue firmly in cheek. And that
kind of stopped that nonsense, so it worked.
- John Lydon, Volume 3 CD/Book 1992
