…
co-ordination: zang tumb tomb records
Eased out of the shadow of the dome of pleasure
…
The World Is My Oyster
(scrapped): an innocent version plucked from the ZTT vaults: Holly knows it's all white.
(trapped): a guilty insight into the American compromise: Ped tells you how.
…
Holier Than Thou: hear Frankie Goes To Hollywood place their faith in you
…
The third single is number five in Zang Tumm Tumb's defiled Action Series. 'Men are bits of cold paper, whirled by the cold wind.'
