Ministry - I'm Falling (1982-released 12-inch version)

Ignore the YT title information about this being an unreleased alt mix (it is 4 minutes, 4 seconds in length, around 20 seconds shorter than the 'demo' version, which I post at the very bottom), the record company (Cleopatra) cocked it up (see below).

I know this to be true as I actually have an original 1982 12-inch single below, back in London, and this song in the video is the version on it.

There also was a 1981 12'' thats WAS NOT released, but not sure what version is on that, as I do not own it. See below, at the very bottom, for pics of that one. I am fairly sure it is the same version as is in this video, and the same as the 1982 release that I own, but I cannot be 100 per cent positive.



here is the 1982 actual release

Label: Wax Trax! Records – 110072X
Format: Vinyl, 12", 45 RPM
Country: US
Released: 1982
Genre: Electronic
Style: Synth-pop













Here is the 'demo version', and this sounds so much like The Cure circa 1979 to 1981ish







and here is the 1981 unreleased 12'' (which must be worth a shedload)
