additional information
Recorded at the Manor Studios, this reel-to-reel tape was given to
Simon Draper as an indication of how the single was going to shape out. According

a similar tape turned up at Virgin with the mixes of the single and the infamous
If You Want My Love.
Unfortunately nothing so esoteric exists on this copy.
