I bought the 12 inch single for Bela Lugosi’s Dead at Fred’s records in St. John’s, Newfoundland in the eighties and it remained a treasured item in my collection until it was lost, left behind, stolen, loaned out, whatever. I accepted that that item was lost to time and likely irreplaceable. Hence my utter shock to see that I will once again hear this evocative masterwork on vinyl along with an extra three tracks. I recall Boys was included on the B-side of that long list single. Thank you! skritti

This is one album I wish I would have never bought. Usually, I listen to everything I can before ordering. This one I did not, and it was a mistake. Absolute rubbish. numan009

Ahhh… the universal sound of 1980s misfit youth, still keeping us company after all these years. Fantastic versions here. Now, will he still rock the miniskirt during encores? marc_ian
