The two singles in between were both released in the US but as promo’s only.

I guess the two singles in between charted in other countries than the US. But thank you very much for this, Paul. This song is grossly overlooked on 80′s compilations and deserves some attention.

I have a request – do you think you could do a rip of Typical Male by Tina Turner? I can’t find a good version of that 12″ anywhere. I’d love it! Thanks!

If you could post that as an addendum or on it’s own, that would be fan-freakin tactic. Apparently it’s completely different from the album/7″ UK mix. I’ve personally never heard it!!

However, I’ve always thought that this was the second single and follow-up to Life In A Northern Town. Can anyone else confirm?

And to extend on the adultery theme of this song, The Love Parade is actually a real life account on a love triangle that involved Nick Laird-Clowes. He was having an affair with a married woman. This song is about him sitting down and thinking that the whole situation is “just totally freaked”!

It’s all good now. Enjoy and apologize for the mess up :)
