This version is featured on the ''Greatest Hits III'' compilation, the Rah Mix CD single (as an Enhanced CD video) and the 2011 iTunes LP edition of ''Hot Space''. ====Track listing==== Two CD singles (one multimedia enhanced) released 6{{nbsp}}December 1999 and 7" picture disc released 13 December 1999.
