Notes

This issue comes in the standard 2-Tone man black and white sleeve.

Recorded for a mere £700 (if the legend is to be believed) and initially distributed by Rough Trade.

The B side was a demo that was recorded a few years before its release by Neol Davies, John Bradbury and Barry Jones and came complete with it's own unique catalogue number. This may seem unusual but was actually quite common with old ska and reggae singles.
