    Love this song, but prefer the live version on Dance Craze. This must be one of the records where Chrysalis had an absolute meltdown, it appears that they used the same template to press the paper label as that of Too Much Too Young, hence the Extended Play stated on the label. They also credited John Barry as the writer on the B side, when I believe it should have been Monty Norman. Subsequent represses of the moulded plastic label corrected this with the exception of some copies that have "Made In " printed on them. But perhaps the icing on the cake was the version that was pressed as "The Selector" - not even getting their artist's name correct ;)
