The opening credits plays "It Couldn't Happen Here"

It gets to this line at 2:03

The CD gets there at 1:57

On the About CD, Neil mentions on their return from NYC, he played "Opportunities" & "Pet Shop Boys" to his chums in Smash Hits. but was too embarrassed to play "West End Girls"
The next chap, David Bostock says he loved "One More Chance"

The Manilow Swing (bootleg) mix of Did You See Me Coming? Is the best remix this century.
