History

As "Catch" wasn't released in the US market, the b-sides were used for the US release of "Just Like Heaven". The song was covered by Art Brut for the NME CD, Pictures of You – a tribute to Godlike Geniuses The Cure. "I first heard 'Catch' when I was quite young," remarked the group's Eddie Argos in an accompanying feature (NME, 28 February 2009). "It was only when got older and started going out with girls that I realised how romantic it was."
