"There's about 42 different versions of 'Pacific State'," quipped Graham Massey, "and ['Pacific 707'] is the single version we put out on ZTT. It was the last track at The Haçienda for the six months before it even got out. Then Gary Davies heard it in Ibiza and started playing it on daytime Radio 1. A few features made it stand out: the birdsong and the saxophone. I played the sax part – which is good because I didn't really play saxophone at the time. It's a moot point whether I can play that part properly now."[4]
Release
The single was released by Tommy Boy Records on March 15, 1990 in the United States.[5]
