Situation

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. It's a crime to pop music history in America that this classic synth-pop recording failed to get the proper airplay here. Even more criminal is that it wasn't even released on 45 in the group's native U.K and didn't chart there until a 1990 release resurrected it. Fortunately, it was quite well known in dance clubs at the time. Alison Moyet is simply one of the best female vocalists of all time. The A side is a delightful edited version of the 5:45 album cut (it was originally a non-album 45 but was included on later releases of their debut album), and the B side is a terrific "Dub" version. The group is credited as "Yaz" on this 45; a nearly identical, earlier release credits them as "Yazoo."
