The first cassette single for OMD, issued in a standard plastic cassette shell rather than the card wraps that would become a cassette single standard later on.

The sleeve shell correctly lists the tracks featured on the 12" release.

 

Tesla Girls had been inspired by Nikola Tesla - a Yugolsavian-born scientist responsible for the Alternating Current.

The title Tesla Girls was suggested by Martha Ladly (from the band Martha & The Muffins).

Garden City raised some debate in the band about whether or not they should  keep the "F" word in the lyrics.
