Release

Released in July 1980, it was the world’s first-ever cassette single. Their label, EMI, refused to promote the cassingle because it allegedly promoted home taping, and because side B was blank.

After several weeks, it was also issued as a vinyl 7" single, reaching No. 34 on the UK singles chart and staying on the chart for seven weeks. The song was ranked among the top 10 "Tracks of the Year" for 1980 by NME.

The song was featured in Ari Gold's 2008 film Adventures of Power.
