How rare is the mis-press of this 7 inch single (UK issue only) because I saw a copy at a record fair today which has the LABEL for the B-side also on side A as well as side B. That is to say - this copy has no label for the A-side but the B-side label both sides!! It doesn't look like this mis-press is listed on here.

Anyone playing 'Further Excerpts from My Secret Garden' at 45rpm, give your head a wobble and wack it on at 33 +4% ish. Amazing.

One of my favorites. A quirky quiet crystalline synth backdrop and a little chant from Dave. I have listened to the Longer version so much it is the standard for me. The song is beautiful and brittle yet a simple stripped back presentation. The quieter mix strips it even further.

You may not even know the song, but this is probably one of the best and most interesting DM releases ever. Not powerful as their popular hits, but beautiful and absolutely worth to take the time and listen to during a rainy evening.

This is one of the better early DM releases. I really enjoy the "Longer" mix. Though it certainly isn't a happy song, it is a nice piece of 80s synthpop, but without the whiny vocals that characterize much of their work.

I've got this one, and though it's written 45/33 RPM on the B-side I just can play only 1 version of "My Secret Garden"! Is there a trick??

The B-side has been recorded on two different speeds, 33 & 45 RPM. This allows you to play, "Further Excerpt From: My Secret Garden" and "Excerpt From: My Secret Garden". Although, the credits don't explain on the outer sleeve, but on the record's inner label the speed is 33|45 RPM.
