text: # Never Stop (Echo & the Bunnymen song)
  
  "Never Stop" is a single which was released by the British post-punk band Echo & the Bunnymen on 8 July 1983. It reached number fifteen on the UK Singles Chart the same month. The title track on the 12-inch single is a remixed version called "Never Stop (Discotheque)" and is another minute and fifteen seconds longer.
  
  The b-side of the 7-inch single is "Heads Will Roll" and the b-sides of the 12-inch single are an expanded version called "Heads Will Roll (Summer Version)" and "The Original Cutter". While Hugh Jones produced the a-side, the b-sides were produced by Ian Broudie under the pseudonym Kingbird.
  
  Primarily released as a single, the 12" extended version of "Never Stop" also appeared on the 12-inch mini-album The Sound of Echo. It was subsequently included on the 2003 remastered version of the Porcupine album as well as a number of compilation albums. "Never Stop (Discotheque)" was also used in the 2006 film The History Boys and was included on the subsequent soundtrack album.
