As you can see, "Sex Mix" and "New York" are applied haphazardly.
duration | annotation/mix title(s) on releases | description |
---|---|---|
3:56 | 7" Version / Original 7" / "Suck It" | the standard 7" version; actual duration is about 3:54; a trade magazine print ad hyped the track with the playful text "move", which was then misinterpreted as a version title by early discographers and music press |
16:24 | Sex Mix / Original Mix / "From Dry To Moist" | an experimental remix; Sex Mix is the most correct version title |
8:20 | Sex Mix / Sex Mix Edit / New York Remix | version called Sex Mix (Edition 2) in a print ad; it is an edit of the 16:24 mix and was created in response to gay clubs complaining about some "offensive content" in the longer version; it was edited by Holly Johnson, Trevor Horn, and J.J. Jeczalik (per an online discussion with Johnson in 2016); it should not be called the New York Remix |
4:24 | "From Soft To Hard" / Instrumental / Bonus / Bonus, Again | daily sign-in skit + a capella chorus, then an instrumental version |
3:31 | The Last Seven Inches! / Warp Mix / DJ Mix | the a capella chorus and intro of "From Soft To Hard" which then cuts into a very heavily edited 7" version |

3:56 | Come Fighting / LP Version | only released on the album; it is very similar to the 7" version, but a more polished mix |
7:23 | U.S. Mix / U.S. Dance Mix / Long Version / New York Mix / Sex Mix | version called New York Mix in a print ad; the common extended version; first half is instrumental; mixed by Trevor Horn in Nov. 1983 and released circa January 1984 (per a Record Mirror ad); should not be called the Sex Mix at all |
3:02 | Edit | from a US promo 7" and cassette and later appearing on The Island Story compilation; it is simply the 2nd half of the U.S. Mix |
6:15 | Sex Mix | from a Greece-only 12"; fans call it Greek Disco Mix; it the first 2:29 of the 8:20 Sex Mix followed by a mix which is very much like the 7" version, but with extra reverb |
There is also a 3:55 untitled mix which fans call the Classic 1993 Version; it is very similar to Come Fighting and first appeared on singles & compilations starting in 1993, but by all appearances seems to have been created in 1984.
Many of the releases say ℗ or © 1983 even when they are from 1984.
