Long Train Flexi

The Long Train Flexi was a promo give-away with the first 5.000 sales of the Walk Away single in 1984.
It was likewise included into the 7" and 12" releases, all 7" vinyls of this first edition do have silver labels, though.

The flexi is one-sided and consists of only one track that is an extended version of the song Train. Years later in 1988, this version of the song - now titled Long Train (1984) - would be officially released as B-Side of the Lucretia single.




Irish pressing


A very rare Irish Pressing with the following features does also exist:

  • At the utmost about 1.000 copies exist.
  • The single comes without a picture sleeve (see the pictures in the third row down below).
  • The labels are slightly fainter and show a different layout and design of the pressing info.
  • The copyright round the outer rim of the label is a bit more scrunched up and slightly harder to read.
  • The name of the band is in a different position and font, and without the periods between the words.
  • The runout etchings are:
    - Side A - MR033 A-2 CP *star*MT*star*
    - Side B - MR033 B-2 CP *star*MT *star*
    The *star* is a tiny etched star symbol.
