alternate mix!

Acetate with an alternate mix! This was offered for sale on eBay in 2004 but does not appear on popsike.com so I can not verify a selling price. 

Sometimes I Feel So Low - UK, Japan, USA single 1978. 

UK & Japan October 1978

A: Sometimes I Feel So Low 3.39
B: Love Is Infectious 4.08

Both tracks are the same as on "Obscure Alternatives". Of the three, the Japanese 7" is the most common as it was being pressed up to 1985. Early copies, though, have the insert printed on thicker, textured paper. 

  • UK catalogue number Hansa AHA-529
  • Japanese Victor VIP2678.
