It was VERY difficult to get your hands on a copy of this 12-inch back in 1982. Every shipment the local record stores got would sell out immediately. "Genius Of Love" was THE emblematic song from that time. I was indeed fortunate to get a copy and I still have it...!! I do have to say that, although it's the same mix, the vinyl sounds a bit different than this digital version. "Genius Of Love" was a MAJOR part of the soundtrack to my senior year of high school, 1981-82.

I used to mix this, Genius Rap (Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde), the Tom Tom Club version, and Grandmaster Flash, with Hurt Em Bad and One Way's Cutie Pie.....that was a marathon mix for me at the Oasis in San Diego back in '83
