Notes

Published by Island Music Ltd
℗ 1980 Virgin Records Ltd
A Metal Beat record distributed by Virgin
Made in England

Despite the equal billing of the 2 titles on sleeve, only Underpass was the hit single.
This version has a long fade in and includes the second verse that starts with "Well I used to remember".
There is also an edited version of Underpass with an A2 matrix.

The duration of track B is not printed on the release.

    Matrix variants seem to be mix of CBS and Unknown presses. Mine is A1/B2 and no Λ mark.

      I don't understand why it is pointed out that this is an edited version - the other similar release has exactly the same running time on the label, am I missing something?
