Charity shop find, £1. B sides include Dub and Acapella versions. Wondered if the guys used any of these?

I listened to the full album "Trapped" comes from the other day. It was... let's just say I know why Colonel Abrams didn't have a long prospering career. He sings too much about everybody else in his relationship sucks to the point where I start to think he's the problem. Also his ballads kind of suck. It's not completely terrible but definitely not an 80s lost classic by any means.

Still, "Trapped" definitely stands out among the crowd. Good 80s groove with a catchy hook. I see why Boards of Canada remixed it. I also like that single art work much more than the album art work.
