La chanson, reprise de Blondie, n’a été jouée qu’une fois en live le 21 février 1995, lors d’une session radio pour Studio 105 à paris, la seconde black session de France Inter.

La version originale peut être entendue sur Eat to the Beat de Blondie (1979)

Ed et Phil ne sont par fiers de cette reprise…

Ed: “And we once did a version of ‘Union City Blue’.”

Phil: “Aw, that was a poorly…”

Ed: “Which was awful. Really, really bad.”

Phil: “Such an insult to the original!”

Ed: “Yeah!”

Paul: “Oh, I wonder if there’s any bootlegs of that out there.”

Ed: “Oh, there are.”

Phil: “There are.”

Ed: “It was stupidly… it was done… the one time we played it was on a live session on a French radio station. So, uh, yeah, it goes out on FM, so…”

Phil: “Just ??? and search for it.” [/quote]
