Talk:Sex (The 1975 song)

Two versions
I would really appreciate some discussion first, as I feel that a lot of information was removed with your edits, or at least blurred – for example which version of the song charted where and when. Here's how I see it: First the song was released as a single some time in 2012, and charted on Billbord Alt and UK Indie. Then, the song was re-recorded (so it sounds differently, and that's what I mean by a different version of the song – you can compare them eg. on YouTube), and released in August 2013 as the lead single promoting the band's debut album. When I was writing the article, I was deciding whether to create one infobox, and to include information about both versions in it, or maybe create two infoboxes and split the entire article into two sections: EP version, Album version. I went with the first option, as I thought it was much clearer. If we were sticking to only one version of the song being mentioned in the infobox, I'd say it probably should be the EP version, as it was released first, and per the earliest known date of release should be included there. I don't have a problem with the release history section, but I have some doubts about the "maxi single track listing", as it's already included in the Sex (The 1975 EP) article. We should reach some consensus if it should stay here, or there – it's one way, or another. —  Ma y ast  ( talk ) 15:27, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * There was no single release in 2012 as far as I can tell. There was only a promo single release in November 2012 to UK radio. I'd imagine this is the release you're talking about, though, since it's an easy mistake to confuse promo singles and singles. The article should only be split if there's another recording of the song by another artist, not the same artist. On the Maxi-DD, you can tell straight away that the two Sex EPs are not the same release. They have different track listings, and the 2013 release should be considered a Maxi single because it's a tie-in to the single, and "Sex" features as the first track (or A-side).
