"Treason (It's Just a Story)" is a song recorded by Liverpool group The Teardrop Explodes. The track was originally released as a single in early 1980 and then included on the group's debut album Kilimanjaro later the same year.[1]
The original version of the song failed to become a hit, but was later re-mixed by Hugh Jones and re-released as the follow-up to the group's breakthrough hit Reward in 1981.[2] This version reached no.18 in the UK Singles charts in May of the same year.[3] The new version was also included on the re-issue of the Kilimanjaro album, itself more commercially successful than the original album release. On both album releases the song is listed under the title of "Treason".[4]
