Catchy as heck post punk New Wave song with Asian inspired melodies. A great hit single.

my copy of this is missing all of the text on Side One. Just the UN logo at the center top and the line of writing around the edge of the ring.

i still haven't opened mine - not sure i am going to. it's so cool because the damn number of 1000 is on the outside on the shrinkwrap.

1000 only. The hand numbered label is stuck to the outside of the shrinkwrap, so any with the number missing have probably been opened.

there are copies of this with no number !!! so limited to 1000 is questionable !!!!

this was a very nice japan pic disc single released back in 1980, this was ironically the only 45 ever released by the vapors in japan in conjunction w/ the new clear days lp back in 1980................
