I was looking for this one for 40 years because every single research send me to FREEEZ or EBN-OZN. Until I founded in Youtube 2 weeks ago and I asked you for it. 1983… my friends and I playing basketball and singing this song (Montevideo, Uruguay). Thanks!!!

With Mr. Steve Hogarth, who nowadays is the lead singer of Marillion. He just made an amazing version of The Cars’ “Drive” with Trevor Horn… Long live the 80’s!

Amazing! I love their first album, but I never had the 12″ single! Thank you very much! I also love the cover art … very post-punk/new wave!

LOL…this one threw me for a second. I am not familiar with the song. I misread the title as Eurogliders and then immediately thought of EBN OZN for the song title. I am all over the place…. 🙂

I’m sorry, but there is only 1 version of a song called AEIOU (Sometimes Y) that I will acknowledge. 😉

Fun slice of 80s UK New Wave, but holy cow isn’t that an awful cover picture? LOL
