referencing Magic's Wand (12", 33 ⅓ RPM) VJ 12008
Thomas Dolby went on to use the keyboard riff on his 'Puppet Theatre' track which I think was first heard on 'Live Wireless' in 1983, then later a B-side to 'I Scare Myself' in 1984. I guess that as Dolby has song writing credits he got the nod from 'Mr Magic' for Puppet Theatre, who incidentally he credits on 'Live Wireless' when he says "This is a song that as owes a fair deal to a good friend of mine, ...Mr. Magic".

My Holland 12" has a slightly different text layout on the labels.
Different matrix / runout :
- Side A): 151.094-A1 FOON
- Side B): 151.094-B1
Also comes in the well known blue/grey Jive company sleeve.

Excellent '82 electro vocoder rap classic with the unmistakeable touch of Mr. Dolby all over it.
