The first single by Mainframe (John Molloy and Murray Munro) on 45rpm vinyl record. Includes a handwritten note from the artists. The included liner notes explain the meaning behind the songs on sides A and B and also remark on a hidden side C:

"... The "B" Side calls for little comment but the "C" side opens a new chapter in Singles.....
"At five seconds long it is hardly a "Song".....Nor will it sound in any way musical except to some special ears. When the Engineers at BBC Radio One and LBC (London) heard it, they recognized instantly that the short burst of sound is a computer program..... But what computer and what program? The cover gives a clue."
