"Treason (It's Just a Story)" is a song recorded by Liverpool group The Teardrop Explodes. The track was originally released as a single in early 1980 and then included on the group's debut album Kilimanjaro later the same year.[1] The original version of the song failed to become a hit, but was later re-mixed by Hugh Jones and re-released as the follow-up to the group's breakthrough hit Reward in 1981.[2] This version reached no.18 in the UK Singles charts in May of the same year.[3] The new version was also included on the re-issue of the Kilimanjaro album, itself more commercially successful than the original album release. On both album releases the song is listed under the title of "Treason".[4] B-sideThe B-side of the original 1980 7" release was "Read It In Books", the Teardrop Explodes' own version of a song originally co-written by Julian Cope and Ian McCulloch, previously recorded and released by McCulloch's band Echo & the Bunnymen in 1979 as the B-side to their debut single "The Pictures on My Wall".[5] The Teardrops' version was also included on the Kilimanjaro album, re-titled "Books".[6] The B-side of the remixed single version of "Treason" was a new track, entitled "Use Me", written by Julian Cope alone.
