General Notes
The Turn the tables EP was released to coincide with the band’s Reading Festival appearance.

It seems this single was originally going to include “Give Me A Reason” as well.

    This single featuring Bernie Shaw(Grand Prix, Uriah Heep etc)on vocals starts of with a beautiful melodic rocker, Turn The Tables.
    On the flipside(the single’s divided into Side AA and Side A)there are two songs, the first being the simply awful Tell Me The Nightmares Wrong, a sleazy ballad-like song with an even worse chorus.
    The third track is sheer class. The instrumental A Question Of Time must be the perfect set-opener, and it’s a very melodic, yet powerful piece of music.

    This EP changed my life, three incredible tracks. Was and still am (still got it on 7″) blown away. “A question of time” and “Tell me the nightmares wrong”. Combined with Live @ Reading Festival ’82, thanx to Tommy Vance.

    I have had ‘Tell me the Nightmares Wrong’ on a tape for years and never found out who it was by. Recently I joined a lyrics site and put the lyrics up,still no joy,then got a tape to MP3 converter and put that on the forum……Lo and behold it turns out to be PM. I can rest easy in my bed now.
    Now to buy the EP. E bay here I come!!
