One of my favorite covers from the original series, a buxom blonde dipping her toe into a pool of records. Nothing remotely mainstream on this issue.

The Sean Heyden was the closest to mainstream, having been a popular "dance-club" ("disco" was then a bad word, remember) release on its own.

The Telex is the highlight. They were known for "Discow-Moskow" previously.

The Numan of Sharpe & Numan is none other than Gary Numan, new wave poster boy. He and Sharpe did 1 or 2 tracks together. This is the 1st RazorMaid! remix I saw released commerically, released as a 12" single.
