Liner notes

Mastered at Tape One. ℗ 1981 Dindisc/Dinsong Ltd. © 1981 Dindisc Ltd. This is the first issue with a special silver foil sleeve and b-side listed as "Experiments In Vertical Takeoff". The 12" stained glass sleeve design has three variations: 1st issue (this entry) - silver foil (mirrored) sleeve (sword and wings are silver foil), silver foil back, b-side listed as "Experiments In Vertical Takeoff" 2nd issue [[release:1813426]] - silver printed sleeve (sword and wings are printed silver), white back, b-side listed as "Experiments iIn Vertical Takeoff" 3rd issue [[release:1813429]] - white sleeve (sword and wings are white), white back, b-side listed as "All The Things We've Done" The single was originally to have featured a B side track titled “Experiments In Vertical Take Off.” The song hadn't actually been written at the time, but merely existed as a title. The single sleeves were subsequently printed with this title, but Andy and Paul had decided against the idea, and chose a brand new song called “Navigation.” The original sleeve design for the 12" version used an [embossed coin motif on a silver foil sleeve](http://www.discogs.com/release/1649086). The band weren't happy with this design, which led to the new stained glass version. A limited number of the coin foil sleeves, however, were issued.
