Excursion on the Version

"In the Ghetto" peaked at No. 44 on the UK Singles Chart, the highest position of the album's three charting singles. The band supported the album by embarking on a tour of Africa, after which they broke up. The album was not initially released in South Africa, due to the country's human rights abuses.
