It is the Dutch label's second limited color run of the album, following a silver edition of 1000 that arrived in November 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis LP restores the original 1982 UK running order: nine tracks, opening with \"Flying North\" and closing with \"Cloudburst at Shingle Street.\" \"The Wreck of the Fairchild\" is here at the head of side B, leading into \"Airwaves\" and the synthesizer version of \"Radio Silence,\" and the later hit \"She Blinded Me with Science\" is not. That song only joined the album on the 1983 re-sequencings, which also dropped \"Fairchild.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDolby paid for the record with his earnings from session work on Foreigner's 4, where his synthesizer intro opens \"Waiting for a Girl Like You.\" He co-produced it with Tim Friese-Greene, and it came out through his own Venice in Peril label, with EMI manufacturing and distributing it. Four of its songs were released as singles: \"Europa and the Pirate Twins,\" his first EMI release, then \"Airwaves,\" \"Radio Silence\" and \"Windpower.\" The central character of \"Radio Silence\" is a personification of the 1960s pirate station Radio Caroline. Looking back in 2009, Dolby described the songs as relationships set against a backdrop of impending war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRolling Stone's Don Shewey gave the album four stars in October 1982, calling it \"one of the most impressive debuts\" of the year. In its US configuration, with \"She Blinded Me with Science\" added, it reached No. 13 on the Billboard albums chart in June 1983 and No. 8 in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlying North\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial Breakup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeightless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuropa and the Pirate Twins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindpower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wreck of the Fairchild\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirwaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadio Silence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCloudburst at Shingle Street\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8719262039674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Music On Vinyl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.19.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Music On Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67500913361054,"sku":"8719262039674","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/The_Golden_Age_of_Wireless_2009_Remaster_Bonus_Track_92e87224_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1791748993","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/thomas-dolby-the-golden-age-of-wireless-turquoise-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
