On this day 39 years ago, 28 November 1985, The 12" Album was released in Japan.

At that time, singles were commonly released on both 7" and 12" with an extended mix on the latter. A number of artists then issued compilation albums of the 12" mixes, and this is what the Strawberry Switchblade one looks like. But it isn't.
