While recording these tracks at Gooseberry Studios in London, producer Blackbeard also made some dub versions which Phil Smee had made into an studio acetate (see disc on left). Some of these tracks have appeared on compilations over the years, notably “Happy Abe Dub” on Cleaning Up the Music Biz cassette and “Original JA Mix” and “Happy Abe Dub” on the Satellite Exhibition CD. The acetate also includes the original versions of “Happy Birthday Sweet 16” and “Our Movement”.
