I BOTH copies of this on Wackies - the one with and can confirm the one without the Hasan Bakr track is indeed as described above by Lion. The one WITH the Bakr track has Matrix W 956 A/B as opposed to the other matrix which is WACKIES 956 A/B.

However, BOTH labels mention the third track!

'Interesting' that the label should release a 2 track 12 with a three track label! Why was the third track ommitted?

I would have felt pretty pissed to get home and find I was a track missing.

Mind you, if I bought the Love Joys 12 inch 'It aint easy' things would have been evened out. Why, because this has three tracks listed on the label, It aint easy and 'Gimmee Back Part 1 and Part 2'. However, play it and after 'It aint easy', the brilliant 'Stranger' comes up!

So the extra track would have balanced the one missing from Wackies 956.

My copy is original Wackies release Matrix WACK 707 AA / WACK 707 A. Blue label with white on side AA, yellow with black on side A.
