Singles details

Love at First Sight (Colin Moulding

a) Love at First Sight* [edit] / Beatown (live); Roads Girdle the Globe (live); This Is Pop? (live)


Canada: 7" (45 / 33 1/3 rpm), Virgin/PolyGram, VS 1124, 23/1/1981 [no p/s]


Notes

The Canadian "Love at First Sight" is well known for being sped up, although it is the same recording and mix as the album version on Black Sea. The label claims the playing time 3.06, but it is more like 2.58.

The live version of "This Is Pop?" on side B appeared earlier on the Australian and Japanese "Making Plans for Nigel" singles. The other two live tracks remain unavailable elsewhere.


b) Love at First Sight* / Rocket from a Bottle

USA: 7", Virgin/RSO, VR 301 (2090 553), 4/1981 [no p/s; unreleased?]


Note

If it exists, this single was most probably never unleashed on the general public.
