Good Year For The Roses LYRIC clipping

• #6 (UK)

Notes

• The first 5000? copies of the UK 7" were issued in a picture sleeve, but were recalled and reissued in a standard 'F-Beat' sleeve. However, a few hundred made it into circulation. The apparent reason why they were recalled was simply that EC hated it!
