 Although the single attracted some club play in the United States, it was ultimately a failure in the UK charts.In 1983, after the success of singles "Mad World" and "Change", the re-recorded version of "Pale Shelter" was given another shot as a single, released in the United Kingdom and Europe in both 7" and 12" formats.The 7" features a slightly edited version of the album cut, while the 12" features a new extended version.
