RedFrame/White Light had been inspired by an actual phone box used by the band outside The Railway Inn public house on the Wirral.

Some copies of the 7" release were misspressed with Echo Beach by Martha And The Muffins.

Most copies of this single were pressed with the familiar grey two-tone DinDisc labels, but some copies had a rarer pale blue label and others a pink/white label.

 

The telephone number in the lyrics is the actual number of the phone box near the Railway Inn. Fans would ring the number expecting to speak to Andy and Paul, forgetting to also dial the Liverpool area code. Subsequently, irate people around the country kept receiving calls from over-enthusiastic OMD fans!
