Trivia[edit | edit source]
- This is the first and only time “Sex Dwarf” was given a proper single release. Previously, the song would be released outside of albums and compilations only on US promo 12″ in 1981 and unofficial singles, such as It's A Mug's Game.
- The release would lead “Sex Dwarf” to be included on 2018 compilation of Soft Cell's singles – Keychains And Snowstorms: The Singles.
