      This is actually their 4th single.
      Their first single was an earlier version of West End Girls, produced by Bobby Orlando, and released in April 1984
      Then, they released One More Chance, also produced by Bobby Orlando in June 1984.
      Their third single, was Opportunies (Let's Make Lots of Money). This was released in July 1985.
      This version was produced by J. J. Jeczalik (part of Art of Noise) and Nicholas Froome.
      These were all produced and recorded before they even began working on their debut album, Please.
      The July 1985 release of Opportunies was also their first single to have a music video.
