Single Notes By dltourhistory
The fourth single from 'Slang' was released in November 1996.
'Breathe A Sigh' the second ballad from the album narrowly missed out on a UK Top 40 chart entry.
This was mostly due to no promo video being made and therefore a lack of exposure on the UK MTV and VH1 TV channels.
The addition of six live tracks helped sell many CDs among collectors and long term fans.
The live material was recorded on the US and Canadian leg of the tour.
The only officially released live material from the 1996 tour.
The UK/US Promo CDs included a 3:50 radio edit version of the song.
This was the last UK CD single to feature "LEPCD" as part of the catalogue number.
Live Tracks/Box Set
Curiously the live versions of both 'Deliver Me' and 'Work It Out' are labelled as being from Mountain View, CA on these CD singles.
Live versions of these two songs were later included on the 'Rarities 4' disc of the 'Collection Volume Two' box set in June 2019.
On that release the songs had two different lengths to these 1996 B-Sides and were labelled as being recorded in Montreal, QC.
They were included on the box set along with live versions of 'BOTH', 'Switch 625' and 'Miss You In A Heartbeat'.
Therefore it seems they were two different versions and none of the six live B-Sides from this single were used.
Inner Sleeve Notes UK CD1/2
"Tracks 2, 3 & 4 were recorded live direct to DAT during our 1996 tour to support "Slang".
No remixing was done to the original tracks, but we liked the sound & vibe, and thought you'd like a little taste of what's to come on our upcoming European tour. See ya' on the road!."
