    African and White [First Single Version] 3.47 / Be Suspicious 5.02 (Inevitable Music, INEV 011)
China Chrisis: Gary Daly, Eddie Lundon, Dave Reilly. Recorded at Amazon Studios, Liverpool. Produced by Jeremy Lewis.

6 May 1982 non-LP 7"/12" Scream Down at Me

    Scream Down at Me 3.15 / Cucumber Garden 4.45 [7" Edit] (7": Virgin, VS 495)

    Scream Down at Me 3.15 / Cucumber Garden 6.55 (12": VS 495/12)

19 July 1982 7"/12" African and White (Remixed Version)
    African and White (Remixed Single Version) 3.48 / Red Sails 4.43 [fade-out] (7": Inevitable Music, INEV 011)

    African and White (Remixed and Extended Version) 5.03 // Red Sails 4.54 [full length] / Be Suspicious 5.00 (12": INEV 011-12)

Side A produced and remixed by Jeremy Lewis. Red Sails recorded and mixed at Amazon 8 Track on 15 June '82.

18 Oct 1982 7"/12" No More Blue Horizons (Fool, Fool, Fool)

    No More Blue Horizons (Fool, Fool, Fool) 3.45 / No Ordinary Lover 3.03 (7": Virgin, VS 521)

    No More Blue Horizons (Fool, Fool, Fool) 5.02 // No Ordinary Lover 3.03 / Watching over Burning Fields 6.22 (12": VS 521-12)

Side A recorded at Strawberry Studios, Dorking. B-sides recorded and mixed at Amazon 8-track, Liverpool.
The 12" cased some confusion. Robert Plunkett explained: "There are two B-sides for No More Blue Horizons and they often get confused. There is Watching Over Burning Fields", a long instrumental track lasting 6:22, and there is No Ordinary Lover, a vocal song lasting 3:03. Both tracks are totally unrelated to each other, however the chorus of No Ordinary Lover is "Watching over Burning Fields". To make matters even more confusing, the 2-CD collection has these tracks swapped over by mistake so some people end up thinking No Ordinary Lover exists in an extended version."
