Awesome! I Start Counting is one of my favs! Thanks for posting.
The next year they rebranded as ‘Fortran 5’.
I love the Mute label and collect quite a few vinyl releases, including some rare 10″ singles.
I haven’t heard this one in a while
Thanks Paul 🙂
Don’t know this at all, so very curious to hear it..
AND do I ever love that sleeve picture 🙂
If you like Depeche Mode you will likely love this band and single Jay 🙂
If this is anywhere as great at the “Letters To A Friend,” I can’t wait. Paul, I loved that single and this looks very interesting. I/We can always count on you to introduce us to great singles. Thanks again!
Jeff
Jeff, this one is just as good I think you will appreciate the samples in this one. The AA side is very cool 🙂
