Notes
Most copies of the original 10" pressing with the album version were scrapped, but a handful did escape destruction. Some of these were given away as part of a competition for the OMD fan club in 1980. This issue is one of these only distinguished by the shorter track time and runout information.The later Grey two tone labels incorrectly state the producer as Chester Valentino. Mike Howlett is the producer, as the track was remixed and times at 4:48 - later editions again feature Grey labels correctly attributed to Mike Howlett and were also issued with different coloured record labels including Red, Green and a Pink/White combination. These labels also correctly credit Mike Howlett for the production.
