This
single featured an edited version of the medley on the Holiday
'80 double single, which faded out before the track segued
into Night Clubbing .
(This edited version has only been officially released on
CD in Australia, on the revised Travelogue album.)
Marianne,
previously the lead track on the double single, was also missing
from this single release.

The
group had been reluctant to release this single (read their
views on cover versions on the Rock
'N' Roll: Only After Dark page), but eventually allowed
Virgin to issue it.

This
single fared better in the UK charts than the double pack,
entering the Top 75 on May 3 1980 and reaching Number 56 during
its five-week chart run.
|
| Unusually,
the group were asked to appear on the BBC TV show Top Of
The Pops, even though the show traditionally only featured
current Top 40 hits at that time. |
| As
with the double single, there were pressing problems with this
record - some of the pressings contained Being Boiled
on the A-side, instead of Rock 'N' Roll
(which was listed on the label).
