not now john (obscured version)
"Not Now John" single, released April 30, 1983
Since the original version has lyrics that say "F*** all that", David Gilmour came back in the studio to make a radio-friendly version ("Stuff all that") for the single release. Note that they just recorded "Stuff all that" loud enough to drown the original, which is still there. The intro is slightly different from the album version (no laugh), and this version fades out before the lyrics "Where's the fucking bar John?".
Argentinian promo single, released 1983
This version is not obscured (it has the F*** word). It begins directly with the vocals (no intro), and the lines "Hold on John, I think there's something good on... it could be reusable shows" were skipped.
the hero's return - parts I and II
