This 2016 remix is substantially different from the two prior versions. Three songs from the original album have been deleted (Horse, Ray Gun Suitcase, Surfer Girl [the Beach Boys cover] ). Each of the twelve remaining tracks are remixed and shortened, some substantially ('Montana' now 4:23, instead of 6:01 on the original). Some tracks (like 'Memphis') substantially remixed. The (now) track 11's title ('My Friend Is A Stooge') has been shortened, with 'For The Media Priests' having been dropped. The new total time for this version of the album is 43:15, wherein the original 1995 version was 62:41. Cover re-designed and all the original liner notes and images from the inside panels are no longer included.

Pere Ubu: David Thomas, Jim Jones, Michele Temple, Robert Wheeler, Scott Benedict. Additional personnel: Garo Yellin (cello); Paul Hamann (bass, bells); Scott Krauss (drums). Audio Remixers: ; Paul Hamann. Recording information: Suma. Astonishingly, this 1995 album--the band's 10th--is as sweaty with inspiration and ideas as any of its predecessors, and keeps several stylistic balls in the air. It also boasts both a song called "The Beach Boys" and a song by the Beach Boys, the former a kind of tortured folk-rock song with a surprisingly catchy chorus. Other standouts include "My Friend is a Stooge of the Media Priests," a hard-hitting metallic rocker wth an imposing hook, and "Montana," which sounds like marching band music for a very twisted parade.
