Description:"Move On Up" cuts out the barrage of feedback and radio noises that begin the track on the "Fourth Wall" LP, but is otherwise identical. B-side: "Portugal" uses a blasting drum beat (very 'Top Ten') and some sampled walkie-talkie voices rhythmically. Police sirens and bits of news broadcasts are thrown in to the song, as well as that sample at the end of "Move On Up" of that guy making what sounds like a pterodactyl call.

Description: Japanese "picture label" limited edition 12" single with a die-cut hole in sleeve, and wide 6" paper label (the flipside is probably Deborah's image from the same floor rug photograph). Odd track listing is for "Move On Up," then others are pulled from "Fourth Wall" LP, the first album, and some old b-sides.
