So the album was reworked and re-released again in the US. Seven months after the initial album release, “She Blinded Me with Science” was released as a non-album single and it hit big. The bold tracks are the added/changed tracks from the previous release. The US vinyl track list looked like this: The running order was also completely reworked. For the US release, the song “The Wreck of the Fairchild” was dropped completely, the songs “Urges” and “Leipzig” (two earlier non-album singles) were added to the album, the full-length “Airwaves” was cut and the shorter 7″ single version was used instead, and the song “Radio Silence” was re-recorded with guitars instead of synths. Sales were decent so the album got a US release. The first thing you’ll notice is that “She Blinded Me with Science” is missing.
The first release (which happened in the UK on vinyl) had the following nine tracks: This album has got to be the most confusing to collect, aside from *maybe* Duran Duran’s Rio, if you want all of the songs recorded during this era. Let’s explore his debut album, The Golden Age of Wireless… I could go on and on, but this is already going to be long enough. He basically invented the modern ringtone for all cell phones. But he’s had a decent music career before and after that song, along with a long career in the tech field creating software. When you hear Thomas Dolby’s name, if you’ve even heard it before, you probably think of one thing and one thing only… “Science!” Most know Dolby as the one-hit wonder behind “She Blinded Me with Science”. I’ll use a unique tag so all future and past Super Deep Dive posts will be easy to find.
This is the first of what will probably be a few posts like this. Thomas Dolby feat.I spend a lot of time researching various titles in my music collection, so I thought it might be fun to share some of that from time to time or just document it for myself.
