Hi Jesper...

continuing for a while off topic:
"Fade To Grey" was released as a 12" in the UK, but the version included was the 7".
"Fade To Grey" was also released in Germany as a 12" with a slightly different cover. The german release includes a 6'14 version of Fade To Grey, which is not a proper extended version, but it is the 7" repeated twice with a less than professional editing.

The proper "Fade To Grey" 12" extended version (6'58', if my memory serves me well) was released only in 1983 on the "Singles Collection" lp.

That's for sure :-)
The SDS 8 offer a decent reproduction of that sound. In any case, something which sounds good when played live :-).

Ciao
