Possibly Maybe (shorter version - no phone)

~ Recording by Björk

Annotation

version without telephone ringing sample - 4:51

Björk was sued by British electronic musician Scanner for the uncleared sample of telephones ringing (from his album Mass Observation) at the start of the track. The situation caused her record label, One Little Indian, to retire all current copies of Post in the shops, and release a new version of the album that included a version of "Possibly Maybe" without the sample. Later on, when the issue was solved, the single version of the song included the sample again, as it appears in the music video.

Here is the original with the sample. It has a length of 5:07.
