Inside



 

Additional comments Limited Canadian deluxe 2 disc 12 inch Maxi Single from the Brothers in arms album. Nice gatefold package with pictures inside. The back cover says: So far away (extended version). This version is unavailable on album. This is pretty rare as albums usually contain the full length tracks. The version that ended up on the CD-version, was actually 6 seconds longer than this extended version. Nice to see Fear and hatred from the Cal soundtrack on this single aswell. The back cover features the lyrics of So far away.
