๐ท The song was released in October 1995 as a 7' LP single.
๐ท It features the very first known version of Bruise Pristine. The song was recorded on the ๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐ ๐ ๐น๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ label at ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐. The rhythm is faster and Brian's vocals are rather high. He said himself that he has a "Mickey Mouse voice" on this recording.

๐ฌ Yeah, our very first single Bruise Pristine, and it's about to be released on a Fierce Panda compilation. We really hate that version, it's so fast and, honestly, I do sound like Mickey Mouse on it. We were going to say no, but it's so ridiculous it has to be documented in some way. I can't really understand where this helium thing came from. My balls have dropped since then.

๐ท Fierce Panda was founded by NME rock critics Paul Moody, John Harris and Simon Wiliams in 1993. For a long time the label specialized in releasing singles without signing artists to long term contracts, releasing the first records of noticeable bands as Coldplay, Ash or Keane. Simon Williams remembers the moment:
๐ฌ We agreed to a single and the way they charmed meant that you just agree to everything they said. Normally, you do a settling single. Obviously, il belongs to one band and there's the A Side and the B Side but in this case, Placebo said: "We give you Bruise Pristine but on the B Side, we want our mates to have a song on there. Their mates were called Soup. We said: "Alright".

๐ท For the cover, Soup chose a black and white grainy picture of a light bulb. As for Placebo, it's a retouched photo by Cecil Beaton of children in a bomb shelter during the Blitz. It was a German bombing campaign against the United Kingdom in 1940 and 1941, during the Second World War. The term was first used by the British press and originated from the term Blitzkrieg, the German word for 'lightning war. It took place during September 1940 and May 1941.

Less well known is the fact that Beaton was one of Britain’s hardest working war photographers during the Second World War. As an official photographer for the British Ministry of Information, Beaton travelled far and wide to document the impact of war on people and places in his own unique style. In later life, Beaton came to regard his war photographs as his single most important body of photographic work. He took some 7,000 photographs for the Ministry of Information covering all aspects of the Second World War.

๐ท The ๐๐๐๐๐๐ are identical to the studio version. Just one change though. Instead of the echoing "Encore" on the standard version, you can hear Brian singing in French "encore, encore, encore, encore, encore plus bas, encore plus fort, encore", which translation is "again, again, again, again, lower, harder, again".
