Trivia

• All four Parlophone sides repackaged on an admirable, if long overdue, EP.
• The rerelease by See For Miles in 1982 took the edge off a collector's market since EMI's March 1979 reissue disappeared almost as quickly as it had arrived.
• The 1985 reissue made the it the third release of these Parlophone singles in 20 years.
