(Trattoria [Menu84], Polystar [PSCR-5482], 1996) [UK]
Here's a good one, the 1996 CDEP release of A Craze's EP originally released in 1982. Unfortunately, I don't know how, but I'm missing the last track of this CDEP, which is an instrumental version of "Keeping The Boys Amused", which is a shame, but the other songs are too fantastic too miss out on!
