The start of track 3 is missing, it's like that on the tape. Track 5 is sometimes called 'Party Rhythm' though I think David sings 'Body' from listening to it. Not that I do that too often, it being one of the tracks 'not good enough' to make it onto the 'wonderful' first album. That should give anyone who hasn't heard these somgs some idea of their musical quality. Presented for interest only...
My own artwork included.
