No Omar. But “Dreamworld” is a non-lp track. “S.O.S. (The Perpendicular Mix)” does appear on “Bangs and Crashes” but it’s long out of print.

Great Go West series, Paul!
I bought the singles from this debut album, and it’s wonderful that you bring them back to me in full digital glory!
Thank you!
Btw, they got their name from “Go West Young Man, and Make Your Fortune”, simply wanting to attain success in the music business.

I bought this 12″ single long ago, but it’s great to finally have the MP3 “Dreamworld” with fab sound quality. Keep up the good work, Paul!
