referencing What! (7", 45 RPM, Single, Repress, Silver Injection-print Labels) BZS 11

My wife bought this when released but her copy has the B side in black, not silvered like the A side. Does anyone else have this?

"...So". Extended mix. Perfect cabaret synthpop adventure, with random nightcruise sax, gentle carillon, eventful bassline, tender entangled melodies. One of the most singular, daring and emotional instrumentals of the early 1980s synthpop era. Like some mellow, melodic freejazz crossed with early Depeche Mode, for a result as visionary, influential and important as The League Unlimited Orchestra's electro dubby dancefloor explorations on "Things That Dreams Are Made Of" (and the whole "Love And Dancing" album actually). Utilitary yet unmissable.
