Title: Love Song
Category: Electronic, Rock
Style: Pop Rock, Synth-pop
Year: 1981
Notes: Date of released on 15th August 1981, a month before the album "Sons And Fascination".
'Love Song' was recorded and mixed for the single. The band were still getting the album into shape, and hadn't decided on running order, lyrics or even track lengths. Given this confusion, it isn't surprising that a sticker on some 12" releases promised 'Extended Versions' (when at the end of the day, only the album and an edit version turned up).
Whilst 'Love Song' was being mixed, Mick was jamming away in a corner of the studio, and suddenly chanced upon the chords for 'This Earth That You Walk Upon'.
They immediately recorded his jam as a two-track demo, and then went about recording it as the single's B-side.
After release, the band decided to give 'This Earth That You Walk Upon' lyrics, and it was the new vocal recording which graced the album. This is why the labels on the single never indicated that this version of 'This Earth That You Walk Upon' was an instrumental.
