'Mirror man' is Talk Talk's debut single, released in early 1982. On the many compilation albums that have been released since the band left their record label EMI, this track is always missing. This is easily explained, since it is the only single from their EMI period that didn't make the UK singles chart at all. Some of the later singles made the lower regions of the chart, but this one faded into obscurity soon after its release. Which makes it a great item for a Talk Talk collection, of course!'Mirror man' appears on Talk Talk's debut album 'The party's over', but the B-side 'Strike up the band' was a non-album track. It appeared on cd only 16 years later, on the double cd compilation 'Asides besides'.
