Hi,

Off the top of my head, there was the original Album version (which I think is my favorite I love the vocals on the outro), which was remixed as the initial single release, both of these have the girl's voice on the intro.

Later, Phil was approached by the BBC to use it as the theme of "Top of the pops" and it was remixed again and this 3rd version was released as a single and used as the theme.

Phil used to quip "everytime I hear that song on the telly a cash register goes off in me head!"

That's my recolection anyway..
