Notes:

After failing to chart in 1979, this was re-pressed and re-released in January 1981 in the hope of riding on the success of the singles from Kings and Decca's re-release of Young Parisians.  The initial 2,000 copies of this new pressing actually had a version of Physical on the b-side, which was recorded during the Dirk Wears White Søx sessions.  The label still showed Whip In My Valise and such copies are now highly sought after by collectors.  A very slightly different version of Physical was soon to show up on The B-Sides/Antmusic EP release, before the actual version made a proper showing on the 2004 remastered CD of Dirk Wears White Søx.

The cover of the single (shown above) was taken from a 1913 photograph by Italian Futurist artist Anton Guilio Bragaglia.  It's a piece called Image In Motion.
