[My Aural Stimulator]

I wonder what, exactly, is the 12" of Love Action? Other than that, and the Blue Zoo song, I have everything else.

This would make a nice collection for a few of my friends whose only knowledge of new wave has been tainted with staple Thomas Dolby and Men w/o Hats stuff.

Don't be fooled - The HL Love Action 12" is actually the 12" Instrumental version!!

[yipyipcoyote]

it's probably the same as the one on 12"/80s (Vol.1). not a bad mix though
