I was born in 1982 and never really heard of Thomas Dolby very much until now. This was,so I am told a missing track on his album. Was it censored for some reason?
-
This is certainly very rare indeed... It also appears on a vinyl compilation album that I picked up in Germany over 26 years ago (long since deleted) called 'Terpsichore' with other gems from the likes of Gina X, Mik Sweeney and Deutscher/Amerikanischer Freundschaft.

I should have known that the other side of Leipzig would also be good.

Great track

This and Leipzig according to The Unoffical Thomas Dolby site were his first single released on Armageddon Records before 'The Golden Age of Wireless", which original came out in Venice In Peril.

Incidential, the first recording of "Airwaves" appears on an interesting various artist compilation entitled "From Brussels with Love" originally issued in 1980 in Belgium. It is presently available on CD. among those featured: John Foxx Thomas Dolby Harold Budd The Durutti Column Michael Nyman Brian Eno Richard Jobson Bill Nelson Gavin Bryars

Thank you very much for the info. I thought that there were only two different issues of "Golden Age of Wireless" wich are in my posession and the only two differences between these two are "Radio Silence" (as you mentioned) and "Airwaves".

Actual it and Leipzig was on the first US issue of "The Golden Age of Wireless", which I own, but check Wikipedia the album was issued five times, each time a different tracklist with different edits. Possibly Three different sleeves, I think the placard is the first. Radio Silence there's two different recordings, one with Lene Lovich & Les Chappell.
Urges & Leipzig were the A & B side of his first single.

I remember this song from when I was a kid and my mother told me not to repeat the word that is the song's title. I thought that I was crazy because it wasn't on the CD of "Golden Age of Wireless," and I figured I must have been remembering things wrong. I've remembered the line about the china doll since I was six.
