Release Notes

The CD single was released in a black jewel case with paper stickers. There is also a release in a standard slim-line jewel case. The 12" single included a poster with the cover artwork.

There is very little difference between the Jutland, Metropolis and A Slight Case Of Overbombing version of Under The Gun. The 7" and video edits are savagely edited.

Under The Gun is a remake of a song originally called Two Worlds Apart and written by Billie Hughes and Roxanne Seeman. It was released in Japan only in the late 1980s. It is also featured on Billie Hughes' Welcome To The Edge (1991) album.
An audio clip of the original song with it's former lyrics can be heard here here.

The Sisters of Mercy's version of Under The Gun featured Terri Nunn on additional vocals.
