9 minutes of New Wave bliss from 1982. I can’t quite my head around this is 42 years old. It’s a fantastic mix, which stays true to the 7” and creates an instrumental landscape of building synth bliss. Right off on my Chopper to get some Blackjacks & Fruit Salads from The Corner Shop….

The first beat is slightly cut off here. Also, it's cut loud and pretty distorted, but not the worst that styrene has to offer.

This release (the UK 12" single) comes in more than one full colour sleeve: some copies' sleeves are matte finish (the majority that I've seen) but I've also owned a copy that came in the same colour picture sleeve but with a slightly pebbled surface.

...The only song to make it into the UK Top 10 which solely uses the black keys of a keyboard....Fact of the day ;)
