About Wind It Up (Rewound)

"Wind It Up (Rewound)" was the fifth single released by the British electronica act the Prodigy on 5 April 1993. This song, a remix of "Wind It Up", is significantly different from the version featured on Experience. The B-side "We Are the Ruffest" features a sped-up banjo riff. The Elektra Records version of the single in the United States was never re-released as some of the previous singles were, making it a rarity and much sought after. The Elektra version also exclusively contained four remixes never released on any other work by the band. This was the last Prodigy single in a British rave vein as Howlett felt he needed to take the music in a new direction (see "One Love").
