The The Discography

The single for "Infected" has a lot of different formats with some great rarities. It's the only place you can get "Disturbed" and the original version of "The Sinking Feeling". My guess is that this "original version" is from "Pornography Of Despair" but I'm not sure. It's a very early mix that sounds about as bear bones as "Cold Spell Ahead" does. The Skullcrusher and Energy mixes of "Infected" can also be found spread throughout the different versions. The promotional copies of this single are also worth looking into as they have some of these mixes as well. There's also a 7" version that's different than the ones on the album. It also appears in the "Infected" movie and the European CD versions of the "Infected " album.

Steve Shill's The The discography lists the TRUTH 3 single as a 12", but my guess is it's actually a 7". I have yet to verify this though as I only have a Canadian 7".

One of the covers for the single shows the full painting Andy Dog did for this release, which was subsequently pulled from shelves, because it was controversial. This is the TRUTH Q3 cover, which depicts a demon masturbating. Matt talks briefly about this in an interview with Johnny Marr in which he states, "...the Infected 12� sleeve was great...and he's wearing the little marigold glove [laughs]. I liked that little touch as well. That was an interesting little story too because that sleeve had to be printed outside of the record company�s manufacturing plant because the workers there threw a bloody fit, when they saw it. They laid down their tools and point blank refused to have anything to do with it." The cover was apparently done as a 7" and 12", both pulled. They later resurfaced with the same product codes, but with the newer cover. The "non-offensive" cover depicts a demon's face. The "banned" version depicts a demon masturbating onto himself. There's also a disputed cover for a version with a yellow cover depicting a cow skull. Nobody seems to know what this is, but rumors are still flying - might have been promo art, might have been rejected art, I'm really just not sure. I've been told it's a 12" with the Skullcrusher mix on it, but I've never seen anything verified. Another rumor going around is that Andy Dog once said that the yellow cover was the original artwork, but was never intended to be used for the single.

There is some confusion as well as to what the track listing is on TRUTH Q3. Apparently the "banned" version and the "non-offensive" version have different track listings and there is some dispute as to whether a 7" version exists of the banned cover. I know the track listing for the "non-offensive" version of the 12" is correct.
