Walkin' with Jesus (Sound of Confusion)

Peter Kember and Jason Pierce are credited as writers on the Taang! sleeve listing. The band first tried the song during the April 1986 Sound of Confusion sessions and were unhappy; Kember told Outer Limits, when we recorded it with the LP it was really shit. The 12-inch single followed on Glass in November 1986 and reached 29 on the UK indie chart. Pierce is paraphrased by the fan site as calling it a fine line between very good and very bad, with the LP version on the bad side, a paraphrase we could not check against a direct quote.

The versions run 5:52 on the single and the Taang! bonus, 3:59 on the Glass singles compilation Translucent Flashbacks and 5:03 on The Perfect Prescription; a developmental version titled "Sound of Confusion" is on Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs To, and it is also on the live album Performance. Purling Hiss covered it as a single B-side and the Mexican duo Los Mundos recorded a Spanish-language version, "Sonido de Confusion", both known to us only from search summaries.

We found no statement from the band on its meaning. Our upload carries the single's title and the Sound of Confusion album name, but we could not tell which version it is, so we do not state a timing.
