"Return" is one of the most beautiful and amazing songs from Siouxsie & the Banshees - It's one of their best. When I first heard it, I was moved to tears. It's incredible they didn't include this track on the "Superstition" album.

This is the strongest track from Superstition. "Kiss Them For Me" also spawned SATB's only US Top 40 hit (Peaked at #23 on the Billboard's Hot 100 chart, and #1 on the Billboard's Modern Rock chart.) It's about the death of starlett actress Jayne Mansfield. This is one of those songs you can never get tired of, and if nothing is still entertaining 14 years after it's release. Also included are, as always, amazing B-Sides (and this single is worthy of purchase for "Return" alone.) There are two versions of this single featuring remixes of the title track. One has the Snapper mix and the other the Kathak mix.

If you enjoyed Siouxsie's "Superstition", then you must pick up the "Kiss Them For Me" single, featuring a sizzling remix and two melancholy killers, "Staring Back" and the apocalyptic "Return"(how did that one get left off the album??). An aural and emotional delight. A+

was wondering if this single was still around and when i found it here, i had to put my two cents in, too. i absolutely agree with the other reviewers about "return"! it is one of the most amazing songs i have ever heard. and i too wonder why you can't find it on any of their albums. i bought this single when it came out in the '90s because i loved "kiss them for me", but when i listened to "return" i truly felt i had gotten more music than i had paid for. what a beautifully haunting song. definitely recommend this single simply for the fact you can't find "return" anywhere else.
