Notes

UK single-sided DJ promo for the "Cryptic Cut" mix of Election Day.
This is the only release of this mix on vinyl. Later it appeared on the "So Red The Rose" 2CD/DVD re-release.

Side A has a white label with graphic art and a 2-digit numeric code:
[24 38 24 20 02 32 44 42 00 22 16 12] reads:
[E L E C T I O N _ D A Y]

Side B has a plain lilac label, playing a sinus test tone.

"Parlophone" not credited on label. All common UK releases of "Election Day" carry "Parlophone" / "Parlophone Odeon Series" logos.

"There were many, many mixes of "Election Day" that were completed (and most remain unreleased). The so-called Fact and Story mix of "Election Day" was released on an unlabeled 12" single to the UK clubs. Nick and Simon have referred to this mix as the Cryptic Mix, which should not be confused with the Cryptic Cut No Voice mix which has very little lyrics."
