I'm on automatic - Sharpe & Numan

Bill Sharpe and Gary Numan recorded the album Automatic in 1989 and this single was taken from the album. Like the album, the single wasn't a commercial success despite the lightweight pop that was contained in the album. This picture disc should have helped sales, but it didn't. 

'We've got nothing to lose really', Numan said at the time. 'Bill's still got Shakatak and I've still got my solo career. If we do an album together and it's successful, then it'll benefit both of us individually. If it's not successful, we've both got outside interests to go back to...'
