- Seems to be missing Japan issue UICY-78321 with 17 tracks.
https://movie-tsutaya.tsite.jp/netdvd/cd/goodsDetail.do?titleID=3303002847 - Edited one year agoThis record sounds so good, warm pulsing loveliness coming out of the speakers, first class production at work. A great example of how great vinyl can be.....actually why can't it all be this good? Fantastic music too. Hard to categorise (but that's not a bad thing), but once my needle plops down on the plastic I get totally immersed in it and by the time the arm retreats back at the end of side two I am grinning like a loon. Great pressing.
- Can anyone out there verify that there are certain pressings of the Lp (not any of the cds) on which the version of Clean, Clean is actually 4:52, as opposed to the standard 3:54. There are multiple Lps from different countries that have this error(?).
- Can anyone verify that the version of Clean, Clean! on this album is actually 4:52 long? All the cds seem to have the standard 3:54 length for this track.
plastic age a top tune. stands the time of age but it still sounds like Yes
Edited 6 years agoPure unadulterated Techno-pop tho I loath Video Killed The Radio Star, Elstree and Astroboy are melodically enriched movies for the ears! Trevor, Wooley and Downes a trio that made 80s musical history for a reason...great song writing!- One of the thousands of reasons not to listen to BBC Radio 2
