Released in June 1992, the song became the band's breakthrough hit, reaching No. 17 on the UK Singles Chart and establishing them as one of Britain's most important alternative rock bands. Inspired by S. E. Hinton's Rumble Fish, the track combines soaring guitars, memorable melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, remaining one of the band's most celebrated recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePressing Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal 1992 UK limited edition first pressing on Columbia Records, catalogue number 658083 6.
