- Edited one year agoThe label on the A side is correct, it's the full length LP version of The Plastic Age. I actually kind of prefer the unique edit used in other territories that nix the ambient intro that works more as an album opener than a single, and instead starts dry with the synth. But this is still a fine 45.
The Dutch/French release of the 7 inch contained an edit of 'Living In The Plastic Age' on the A-side (retitled 'The Plastic Age'). 'Island' was on the B-side of the single.- Edited 3 years agoThe b-side is listed at 4:03 on most variants, but the actual track is 3:33
Has anyone every come across the actual 4:03 version, or is this a misprint on all variants?
ZTT website shows a 4:03 version as existing
