NOTES

Both 'Talking Loud & Clear' and 'Julia's Song' are longer versions than on the 7" release.

'Talking Loud & Clear' was the first track written on the Fairlight and was originally written as a test piece.

'Julia's Song' was recorded in Belgium with added brass by the Weir Brothers. The song is a reworked version of the track that originally appears on the debut album Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark.

  

TRIVIA
