London: Mute Records, 1978. 7” single (MUTE 001; original Lyntone pressing). Front cover photograph of crash test dummies in action.
Daniel Miller’s Ballard-inspired debut, recorded at home on two Revox B77s and pressed in an initial run of 2000 copies. Distributed by Rough Trade, it subsequently sold 30,000 copies, probably helped by Jane Suck naming it ‘Single of the Century’ in Sounds.
Vinyl excellent; sleeve Very Good plus.
