REQ: 80's Covers of "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane

I have three covers of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit." The first one I found was back on December 3, 2005 Saturday by the American gothic rock/post-punk band Mephisto Walz. The second cover I found was from 1987 by The Durutti Column on October 30, 2006 Monday. I love the original song, but I love both of these probably more than the original. The third one I found was by Airplane Crashers on December 28, 2013 Saturday and it was just okay to me.

I want to find more obscure/rare covers of "White Rabbit" from the 80's if there are any out there by new/wave/synth-pop/EBM/Italo-disco/gothic rock/shoegaze/post-punk/hardcore punk/etc musicians. Can you please share these with me? Thank you in advance.

EDIT: To be clear, I already have these songs and I'm not requesting them. I'm requesting songs from the time period that I haven't heard of yet.

I just discovered that there are multiple mixes of this song on YouTube and this is the one I was thinking of, which is 4:03 with the drums and no synth.

Here are 29 covers of WHITE RABBIT, mostly dark styles, mostly unknown artists (beside the likes of SHOCKING BLUE, PATTI SMITH and SHAKESPEAR'S SISTER), MP3 192-320.
One cover is sung in Arabic, from American Hustle movie soundtrack.

I do not know the time of record, uploaded just as found.

All the tracks are found today, May 3, 2022, Tuesday, if anyone finds it important..))

PS. If the track with Cyrillic band name does not play in your player, change the band name to Golodomor.

Um hardly obscure but what about the cover by The Damned (both album and extended versions)? Also, Act has a version that is most easily found on the Laughter Tears And Rage Anthology. I would also recommend the live version by The Durutti Column that appears on the Domo Arigato album.

This one was played in the alternative/goth/industrial clubs in the early '90s.

Thank you for the tracks and information, everybody. I was going to post sooner, but I didn't have time and it slipped my mind. I didn't know about that Strawberry Switchblade version and I've been listening to them for years. That's really cool.
