"In Yer Face" was the second single off Ex:el, the third album by English electronic group 808 State, released in 1991 on ZTT and WEA, and it muscled all the way to number nine on the UK singles chart. Andrew Barker, Graham Massey, Darren Partington and Martin Price share the writing credit, the group produced it, and Massey engineered.
The formats show how much mileage there was in it: an edit on the seven-inch, the stretched-out In Yer Face Mix on the 12-inch and a Facially Yours Remix on top, with "Leo Leo" on the flip, once featuring Raagman and once as the Poonchanting Instrumental.
