• MC Virgin TCV2888 1978 [original stating "c1978" on cassette]
• MC Virgin TCV2888 1980 [reissue stating "c1980" on cassette]
• MC Virgin OVEDC230 31.Mar.1981? [second reissue with original sleeve and cassette stating "c1978" on cassette]
• LP Virgin V2888 1981

Song Titles: for side A called UPTOWN and side B called DOWNTOWN

Some remarks :
- "stowaway" is the old name for a walkman !
- "Uptown apocalypse" lists Adi Newton, so this is a track written long before B.E.F., it could be a track written by "The Future"
