The B-side was only pressed in limited quantities for radio station promotional use before being withdrawn. Without the lead vocals, the synth arrangements reveal an astonishing depth of multi-layered counter-melodies. Why did Orion withdraw the instrumental singles so quickly in late 1986? -- Dong-hyun Smirnov *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
