Trivia/Info
- This version features completely different vocals from the re-recording on The Pink Album, including a demonic lead vocal with a warbly effect on it. It also has different guitar work and is missing the later saxophone overdubs. It is sometimes referred to as the "Halloween version."
- The version on 1985 Promotional Demo Tape #4 is based off of this version but is missing the “ooh” vocals in the introduction and contains a ‘noise’ solo in the bridge. The vocals are also mixed a little louder, giving more prominence to the backing vocals.
- From a 1986 issue of Rear Garde Magazine: "What happens when you resurrect Gary Glitter's drumbeat and the Creepshow's vocals? You get a band from New York who uses reverberated vocals to tell us about a female Hotel Detective. Silly, fast and funny."
