It's only just clicked on my brain, but the end of this (4:25 onwards)
is from this (2:13 onwards)
The more you know !
(though that does mean of course that the version delivered to Virgin differs from the final version that actually made it out - unless they're time travelling samplers !)

Brian and Gary must of really hated doing "We have Explosive", a hit squad was abit extreme of a revenge don't you think

I'm just imagining what kind of a fallout would've resulted if a similar stunt was repeated today - probably be a lot messier end result than the laughs in the office that this one got !

Labeled terrorists, of course!
But hey, EBV. Terrorizing our brains since 1995.

Dead Cities Reprise is said to be by Headstone Lane, right?

Yeah, though I'm thinking that's just the metal-esque "Dead Cities" loop part of it

Yes, I think it was Simon's first solo track, which is why it's basically a punk track. I would imagine some of the samples are FSOL.

I guess you guys know about this?
Weird. I always remembered that it was some very manipulated version of that.

Oh nice find, though that's apparently from way back in '81. So either the Headstone Lane track is a cover (not actually heard the full version, does it exist anywhere ?) or it's just a coincidence.

Nice find indeed
I've listened to (two I think) albums from The Exploited, but punk is not my thing at all...
And this is the first time I hear this Dead Cities track.

Has the full Headstone Lane track ever surfaced?

Nope, although I wouldn't be surprised if what we hear in the track is the bulk of what there is.
