Wide boy - Nik Kershaw

Wide boy is a British term for a man who lives by his wits, wheeling and dealing. It is also the title of Nik Kershaw's 1985 hit single, taken from his second album 'The riddle'. The single reached number 9 in the UK singles chart, but did not chart in the Netherlands.

This limited edition of the single comes in a gatefold sleeve with a 12 page booklet full of photographs of Nik.
