1 hour to go?

I've got a copy of this someplace…

I bought the 7" single of "Norman Bates" from a John Menzies in Bath when it came out.

I do not seem to have it any more.

The album has begum and with it our listening experience…

It's started!

Track 1 - European Man.

Dramatic start.

Sounds like the theme tune to a 1970s British secret agent series that involves computers.

It's the L selection and that's really hard to get to, so I'll stick with the Youtube upload.

Oh, the punishment of luxury

Now turned into something else altogether.

Well, I 4 1 am hooked.

Light reggae.

Gone a bit Ska/New Wave.

Talking.

The horns were a bit like Pigbag or Dexys.

Is this going to be quite a good song ruined by zaniness?

Is there an OMD album that has a similar cover to that one?
