Neil  The original version of 'Paninaro' came out in 1986 [see Please sleeve notes]; 'Paninaro '95, was released as the single from Alternative, our bonus tracks and b-sides collection. It seemed a bit weird having a single off a b-sides album. We thought about releasing 'Shameless', but it had been on the b-side of the 'Go West' single and that had done so well. And we did have a new version of 'Paninaro' Chris had done, and it's always been a very popular track.

Chris This is based on the live version from the Discovery tour. Whenever I have to do this song live I always get fed up with doing it as it was originally, so lend up messing around with it. If we had the time I'd probably redo every song every tour because I always get fed up with them as they are. And then, after a while, you can go back to the original. You go, 'It wasn't that bad, was it?' There's a new rap in this version which took me, oooh, weeks to write. A sad rap in the middle. There's also a new French horn line, which I like, and a new, slightly ragga baseline, and a funny noise thing. There's also new percussion from OIl and Liliana who played on the tour. The only things that remain from the original are  Neil's chorus vocals and the squeaky synth noise at the start. On tour I did silly dancing to it. It's the bits where I have to go from one side of the stage to another that are embarrassing.

Neil  They're great. Pure Manc. Chris, coming from the North-West, actually does the Manc goldfish look. The Ian Brown look. They're all just born with it.

Chris It's in our genes. A lot of shame. Or no shame. In the night (1995)

Neil  We re-made 'In the night', which was originally the b-side of 'Opportunities' Please sleeve notes], in 1995 in a new instrumental version for The Clothes Show, because they'd used it as their theme for so many years and wanted a new version. Chris changed the chords slightly.

Chris I put in a fourth chord. Just to change it. It's very house-y. It's house heaven.

Neil  At the time we also tried to record another new version of this more like the original, trying to mix the Phil Harding version with the Arthur Baker version, but we gave up.

Chris We turned this version into a bit of an opus.

Neil  As Chris pointed out at the time, it has symphonic form. It has three movements. This is one of these tracks that I think is rubbish until I listen to it, and then I find myself enjoying it.

Chris There's a mad bit near the end where it suddenly goes faster.

Neil The voice at the end is Sylvia Mason-James. We got her in to sing 'hey yeah'.
