(1981)  Test 1

In 1980 this studio test pressing was offered to me and I bought it immediately. As I am a Rezillos/Revillos fan from the start, my decision was made quickly, this record must have a cover. Based on the original cover of the 7" release I added some photographs from the 'Hungry for love' single. The colours of the matrix I choose - red hot/purple - like the music is.

The A-side of this acetate has two different mixes of 'Scuba Scuba', to me it seems that the bass is featured on the first one. They decided to release the second mix. The difference isn't that big, but it is nice to own this rarity.
