Like Wow – Wipeout
"Like Wow - Wipeout" "... was only recorded as a b-side but producer
Charles Fisher thought it "had something" and
should be included on the album. No-one was more
surprised than us when it became the second single
and our biggest hit at the time. We just liked it be-
cause it was noisy." - Dave Faulkner.[3]
