| • | Release date: Spring, 1979(?) | |
| • | Chronology: A single exclusive to Brazil featuring one track from The Kick Inside and one from Lionheart. | |
| • | Strange Phenomena Lyrics | |
| • | What it's about: Synchronicity -- how coincidences sometimes cluster together in seemingly meaningful ways. It's about that feeling of déjà vu that we all experience from time to time. | |
| • | Running time: 2:58 | |
| • | Wow Lyrics | |
| • | What it's about: Despite all the problems, the music business (and show business in general) are still wonderful. | |
| • | Running time: 3:53 | |
| • | Etc: Brazil is the only country that issued Strange Phenomena on a single. In addition to the one shown on this page, it also appears on the very rare 7" Brazilian EP shown here. | |
| • | Etc2: Brazil and Canada are the only countries that used the full LP version of Wow. On all European singles, the first :12 (of the synthesizer chords) are cut off. | |
| • | Etc3: This is also the only appearance of Wow as a B-side. | |
| • | Etc4: This, and a number of other early Brazilian singles were pressed at 33.3 rpm. Brazil is the only country (I know of) that released singles at this speed. Scan courtesy of Bart. |
