It was made primarily to be played at The Haçienda and only released on an obscure cassette tape compilation in 1982, but was renamed "Video 5 8 6" and re-released as a single in 1997. Elements of this track would later be cannibalized into "5 8 6", "Ultraviolence", and "Blue Monday".

* TheFaceless: Subverted; because the band shunned the media and purposely used non-band photo images for most of their releases, the group developed a reputation as being camera shy. Ironically the band ''does'' appear in just about all of their videos ("Round and Round" and "Fine Time" being the most notable ones where they are not shown on-camera), plus head-shot photos on the sleeve of their 1985 album ''Lowlife'' (as a "TakeThat" to the writers who deemed them "TheFaceless").

** "Be A Rebel" features several shots of two people doing all sorts of surreal things. Such as being operated on to have a CD implanted in one's chest and looking at a small box of another shot earlier in the video while zooming out to be another box. Also, the video is vertically oriented.

This is partially the reason why people were unsure of Bernard Sumner's surname until "Republic"'s release.
