The Singles
The song "Only for Love", the first single released from the album, peaked at number 16 on the UK Singles Chart. The B-side of the single, "O.T.T. (Over The Top)", was never released in album form; it was a studio version of "Over the Top", an a cappella track partially sung by Limahl with Nick Beggs during the concert filmed for the VHS and Laserdisc release of Kajagoogoo's White Feathers Tour. The original live version included only the first two verses; the single includes a third verse, a middle section, and a final chorus with a brief coda.
"Too Much Trouble" was the second release.
The third single, "The Never Ending Story", charted in 17 countries; in eight countries, it reached number one. In Italy and Germany, the song reached the number-two position. In the US the song only reached number 17 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart; in the remaining countries where the single charted, it reached a position within the top five. In France and other French-speaking countries, "The Never Ending Story (L'histoire sans fin)", a French version of the song also sung by Limahl, was released instead.
The fourth single, "Tar Beach", was released only in Germany, with "The Greenhouse Effect (Live)" as its B-side.
