…and their kinda precursor Pete Shelley - Homosapien.
It’s got a dark label, US-style tip-on sleeve and Atmosphere is actually the B side. Pics in Discogs here. The drums are just insane on it, right in the room with you. Crazy dynamic. The UK copy sounds blunted in comparison which is really surprising as IIRC it’s a Porky cut. For some reason the US copy pre-existed the UK copy, I remember it being around but being very hard to get hold of. I eventually found a copy second hand years later.
PS Same thing with New Order’s Ceremony, though that has two different mixes not just mastering. If you’ve only heard the one with the blue and cream sleeve you’ve just not heard it. The original mix in the green sleeve packs a hell of a punch.
The mix on Substance is the less good one.
Love And Rockets: No New Tale to Tell.
The Stranglers: The Skin Deep.
Dr Calculus: Perfume from Spain, inversion..
Are a few of my personal 12" favs.

The Martin Rushent/Human League 12s obviously;
It took a long time to hear the original - when I got the box of "Movement" although it had been on the "Total" compilation as well.
I think the 4 x LP singles boxset has that version as well
Just looked on Discogs and was surprised how much the boxset is "fetching"!!!
I'll have a dig through mine tomorrow
One that does spring to mind though is
Swansway - Soul train
great tune
Yazoo - Situation
Visage - Fade to Grey
