Single release by Underworld with the non-album track "Born Slippy.NUXX", which was originally released as the B-side to "Born Slippy" (Feb. 1995) on 12'' vinyl and the "NUXX" version of the song was included on the Trainspotting Soundtrack album (Feb 1996). This Japanese cd-issue of the single focusses entirely on the "NUXX" version of "Born Slippy", which in essence is a different song compared to the original A-side from '95. Also, the Japanese issue comes with another four tracks making it a more than a 57 minutes Maxi single - exceeding the running time of many standard album issues. Track #4 "Pearl's Girl (Short" is the only track taken from the album Second Toughest in the Infants
(Mar. 1996), albeit in a heavily shortened version of 3:52 minutes making it the shortest track on the release (the orginal album version has a running time of 9:36 minutes). "Born Slippy.NUXX" is one of, or: the actual highlight of the Trainspotting Soundtrack, and it's probably the song that paved the way for the following success of Underworld as a progressive house and trance duo, but on this Born Slippy +... issue the actual title track, which originally has a running length of 9:44 minutes has been heavily shortened to 4:24 minutes. Yes, I know the 'short'-version is also identical to the famous MTV-video of the song, and you could argue that the song then comes in two other mixes but only "Born Slippy.NUXX (Darren Price Mix)" comes close enough to the original to weigh out the damage of the exclusion of the original.
