NOTES:

This title lists RazorMaid!'s London as well as San Francisco addresses, indicating the start of Joseph Watt's and Art Magarg's European sojourn. Their distance from their American production facilities and the subsequent technical problems seems to be in evidence with this issue. My sleeve, as well as the actual record label, lists side 1/track 1 as "Gods of Aquarius" by Nina Hagen, but in fact the song on this spot is Yoko Ono's "Walking on Thin Ice". I'm not sure if I got a rare pressing of an unavailable song, or if in fact this was a replacement for a song not yet finished ("Gods of Aquarius" shows up on the "Back to Basics" chapter). I suspect the 2nd scenario.

Space Monkey's track is interesting. They had a semi-hit about the same time with "Come With Me", probably only popularized because it had a video to play in "Video Clubs" (remember those?).

The 2 Data tracks are, to my knowledge, the 1st mixed/segued tracks on a RazorMaid! release. A great underground sounding Hi-Nrg eurodisco track from that time.
