“Union City Blue” was released in the UK and Europe as the second single from Eat to the Beat, reaching number 13 on the UK Singles Chart. The single was not released in the US, despite drummer Burke’s later assertion that the song would have been a good single release. The release was accompanied by a music video filmed aerially at the Union Dry Dock in nearby Weehawken, New Jersey. The song has since seen critical acclaim and a remixed version saw commercial success in the 1990s.
