April 1980 7" Lexington Queen
    Lexington Queen inside 4.50/Lexington Queen outside
Credits for the B-side say "Lyrics by CHRIS MOSDELL, Composed and Arranged by ALEX SCHNEIDER" [of course a pseudonym for Sakamoto]. Thanks to Theo Spadlo for info on this very rare single. He told the YMO mailing list 3 May 2003: "It was given to invited guests only at the opening of the Lexington Queen in Tokyo, Roppongi, April 1980. The version on the A-Side (Lexington Queen inside) is identical to the version on the B-Side of Sakamoto's single War Head. However, the B-Side (Lexington Queen outside) is completely different: - The (studio) recording sounds like it's all been done in one take. - It has a different arrangement. - It has more beats per minute. - There's a superb guitar solo break in the middle of the song. - It has a completely different ending. Possible studio line-up (there are no credits given on the actual item): Vocals & Drums: definitely by Yukihiro Takahashi. Guitars: some say it's Kenji Ohmura, others say it's Kazumi Watanabe. Keyboards: Ryuichi Sakamoto (?), probably (also) by Akiko Yano."

    Comments from Theo Spadlo: "The CM/TV CD says that Track 28 is The Echoing Blue (Kajima Corporation Inc. Image Song), but they have made a mistake here. Track 28 is indeed the song "The Echoing Blue," but it's NOT the Kajima Corporation Inc. Image Song. The Kajima Corporation Inc. Image Song is named WAT ARUN. It's on the 1990 Promo CD Kajima Corporation - The Image Music and it's NOT subtitled "The Echoing Blue." The song "The Echoing Blue" was on the 1989 Promo CD TOKIO KUMAGAÏ."
