I always preffered the 7" version of "Bellhead" over the album version. It was re-recorded a while after the 12" came out. Its much tighter and a little faster, and more "groovy" (what a lame word!!), but definitely has more of a groove. the b-side is a re-recorded version of "Push" that is also a little faster. The story behind this 7" is that there was a local NYC bar with a jukebox and Liquid Liquid wanted their record in the jukebox, so they re-recorded these songs and pressed a few up. Legend has it 150 copies were pressed, and only about 20 have the small hole, since most were punched out for jukeboxes. The catalog # is 99-11EP7, for all you nerds out there.
BUT- this isnt the only Liquid Liquid 7" out there. There is a 7" by the band "Liquid Idiot", which is pre-Liquid Liquid, and is more of a noise record (its not on 99- its self released). Maybe i'll dig it out and scan that shit for you as well.
