"Never Stop" is a single which was released by Echo & the Bunnymen on 8 July 1983. It reached number fifteen on the UK Singles Chart the same month.[1] The title track on the 12-inch single is a remixed version called "Never Stop (Discotheque)" and is another minute and fifteen seconds longer.
The b-side of the 7-inch single is "Heads Will Roll" and the b-sides of the 12-inch single are an expanded version called "Heads Will Roll (Summer Version)" and "The Original Cutter". While Hugh Jones produced the a-side, the b-sides were produced by Ian Broudie under the pseudonym Kingbird.
Although the "Never Stop" is a non-album release, it has subsequently been included on the 2003 remastered version of the Porcupine album as well as a number of compilation albums. "Never Stop (Discotheque)" was also used in the 2006 film The History Boys[2] and was included on the subsequent soundtrack album.
