For the A-side, at least two different lacquers had been cut by the same mastering engineer, both playing at 33⅓ RPM.
Matrix numbers ending with Z1 or Z2 have wide music grooves and only one cycle rotation in the runout groove.
Matrix numbers ending with Z3 have narrow music grooves and six rotations in the runout groove.

Track B2 is listed as (Instrumental) but has intermittent lyrics from "Some Like It Hot" so it's technically not an instrumental.

Track times are based on turntable play.

    The Power Station reignited the career of Robert Palmer. Imagine had he stayed with the band instead of going solo. Then, the sophomore Power Station album would have included all the goodies from his 'Riptide' album, making it the best post-Duran Duran album ever. Oh well . . . . The extended version of "Some Like It Hot" does the song justice and gives us more of a good thing without going overboard with gimmicks or production overload. A good ole extended version worth the purchase.
