referencing Ship Of Fools (12", 45 RPM, Maxi-Single) 12 mute 74

This is a good example of what an asset maxi versions could be in the 80s.

The "Shivers Me Timbers Mix" takes a lot of time and gives the beautiful composition the necessary space. After an exciting intro comes an instrumental part that presents the harmonies perfectly and makes it clear to the listener how complex the music is. It's simply a pleasure when Andy Bell's beautiful singing finally starts after a few minutes.

Nothing will be boring here. You just have to take the time to listen.

In this pressing , the track "When I needed you" is like a radio mix shorter than the one that appears on the black vinyl Melancholic Mix.
