I heard, without confirmation, that Geffen Records insisted that
the album have a title (tacky).  The compromise was to leave it
off the front cover but put it on the label.  The same thing
seems to have happened to Peter G's live album.  I guess it's
better than not having a recording contract at all...

While in Munich last winter, I was surprised to hear on the
local radio, both the English and the German versions of "I Have
the Touch" and "Shock the Monkey."  They apparently randomly
select which version to play.

The mix of the two differs slightly in addition to the change in
lead vocal tracks, but not sufficiently to merit playing both.
But then again, a Seattle-area new-wave station has played
regularly both the English and German versions of Pete
Schilling's "Major Tom" and Nena's "99 Luftballons," so I
supposed they do it to add a foreign touch.
