Release Notes
The version [of Ceremony] on Substance is the re-recorded (with Gillian). The thing is that the blue stripe cover went through different girations, and three versions exist. First, it was the re-recorded version, and Ceremony's grooves take the whole side. It was withdrawn, and then re-released with the original 3-piece version. Eventually, that was stopped, and the re-recorded version was used again. This time, the grooves span less space. The matrix number also has different values, with A1 and A2 (between the two re-recorded versions). There are also versions of the green cover with the re-recorded version. The only way to tell without playing the record, is to look at the run-off groove notations, as different lyrics are quoted." - Fernando

"In A Lonely Place was indeed re-recorded and 3 versions exists, I know of no re-recorded seven inch version, so there are, in fact, three different versions of this song, and not the two as is widely considered. The main points to listen for are at about 3:15, when Hooky's bass comes in (old version: re-triggered thunderclap noise - newer version: no sound FX), and about 20 seconds from the end when the drums and music fall out the mix (old version: no sound FX - newer version: extra thunderclaps)." - Andrew Morrisson

7" and 12" from Portugal may exist.

Groove notation:

7"
A: "Watching forever"
B: "How I wish you were here with me now"

12" Green sleeve
A: "Watching love grow forever"
B: "How I wish we were here with you now"

12" Cream/blue sleeve
A: "This is why events unnerve me"
B: "How I wish we were here with you now"
