Changes

Appears on ''Head Like a Hole'' (US) as the last track, it's extremely similar to running 3:52. This demo is the same as the ''Purest Feeling'' version, except that it lacks the long intro and all the extra layering of its ''Purest Feeling'' counterpart , as well as the distorted outro. Most likely it's the definitive "original version" of Reznor's very first song as Nine Inch Nails.

Appears on the ''Demos and Remixes'' bootleg. It's simply the "(Skin)" version from ''Pretty Hate Machine'' with an unadulterated version of the "Terrible Lie" intro tacked onto the end which fades out.

Appears on the ''Demos and Remixes'' bootleg, running 4:19. Almost exactly the same as the ''Purest Feeling'' version, simply lacking the extra layering and sound effects as well as the distorted outtrooutro, though it does retain the extended drumbeat intro and is probably the version the ''Purest Feeling'' version was based upon.

Appears on the ''Demos and Remixes'' bootleg, running 4:09. It's an odd version with Reznor whispering a good portion of his vocals under an odd beat set compared to the others. It also includes faux-Oriental sounding synths which are noticeably absent in any of the other versions of the song. This is often referred to as the Big Whole Mix.

A mix that appears on both the ''Down In It'' and ''Head Like a Hole'' singles, running 7:00. It's basically retains the original song with an extended intro and a long instrumental area that makes up the entire latter half of the song, considered the "extended single version" of the song by some.

A mix that appears on both the ''Down In It'' and ''Head Like a Hole'' singles, running 7:21 on the latter. It's a mostly instrumental "dub" mix of the song with minimal vocals and strange warping and mixing of the beats with heavy bass emphasis. It should be noted that this mix is actually 18 seconds longer on the ''Head Like A Hole'' (US) single than it was on the ''Down In It'' single. The reason for this is unknown, though it's probably due to the time constraints imposed on Vinyl singles compared to a full sized LP Maxi Single.
