My copy came with this press clipping :


The clipping says that the Plastic Idols took part on a live recording session for a live album on Big Bear Records. Maybe I'm wrong but this in fact can only be the 'Brum Beat' album. If you take a look you will not find the Plastic Idols in the track list ! ... What happened ?!

(If you are the former owner who put the press clipping into the single cover, let me know ... :)).
