I agree with many who say the uk surf version is a better listen (if you liek the Pixies you really ought to seek this one out.

From what I know of the history here are some interesting facts a few might enjoy.
Some think it first appeared on the soundtrack of Pump Up the Volume (it did not) and others think the slower UK Surf mix came before the more common (and faster) album version (it did not):
The Pixies first released Wave of Multilation on a German 12" (Doolittle 1989, a one-sided promo release - only 2000 pressed and they inclued postcards!??! they were reproduced on the jacket of the US full release, the Pixies second album). The Pixies second album was the first major release of Wave of Mutilation (Doolittle 1989).
wErd!
Later in 1989 the Pixies release the UK Surf version (not a remix - it was a completely new recording on a one-sided 12 inch promo (only 800 copies ever made btw).
It was then found on the B-side of the Here Comes Your Man single (later in 1989, UK release). Then, it then appeared on the soundtrack to Pump Up the Volume and subsequently on a variety of other promos, 12", compilations, etc.
