Notes: Even though it is named the "Blind Mix", this US version is different. Instead of the cold ending that the real UK mix has, this US version is faded out about 30 seconds early.

The Fresh Ground Mix
Alternate Mix Name(s): n/a
 
Live Location:
Recording Date:
 
Production Details: Remix by Mr. Mix Master Phil Harding.
 
Notes: This mix never went past the promotional 12" stage. It is basically a minimal version of the "Pain Mix", but with additional samples from the Cameo song "Word Up" ("super D.J."), repeated throughout the mix. Heavily pirated (including black label 12" singles, blue vinyl, and cassettes), this remains one of the more obscure promotional remixes.
