Bow Wow Wow – Prince Of Darkness (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1981

a-front

“Prince Of Darkness” was the third single released by English new wave band Bow Wow Wow. The song was only released as a single, but a mostly instrumental version made it on the corresponding album as “sinner! sinner! sinner!”. “Prince Of Darkness” debuted on the UK singles chart August 15, 1981 peaking at #58.

For the 12″ “Orangutang” is not listed on the sleeve or labels and is mixed with “Sinner, Sinner, Sinner” I did not seperate the tracks in order to keep the integrity of the original vinyl.
