Notes
No writing credit for Track A on this release. Track B mistitled as "Midnight Bahnhoff Cafe" on back sleeve.
Catalog number RTO - 79 on back sleeve, RTO79 on label.
Back sleeve states: "Recorded 1979" Reissued in 1991 on "Document & Eyewitness" CD ("recorded at Magritte Studio")
[recorded in mid-'79 as a possible single together with a third track "Go Ahead", rejected by the band's record company EMI at the time. Singer Colin Newman: "EMI had rejected 'Our Swimmer' as a single, so we went to Charisma [after the termination of the EMI contract in Feb 1980], and that didn't happen. They weren't prepared to be involved with us for a one-off single." (taken from: 'Everybody Loves A History' book, p.59) Eventually released by Rough Trade in 1981 together with a live album "Document & Eyewitness"]
Labels have "All Rights Reserved" text and state "Made in France."
