Culture Club – Miss Me Blind / It's A Miracle (Vinyl, 12", 33 ⅓ RPM, Single, Stereo, 1984, Virgin/Epic 49-04977, Pitman Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
“Miss Me Blind” and “It's A Miracle” come from Culture Club’s 1983 album Colour By Numbers, the commercially successful follow-up to their debut. This U.S. 12-inch combines the two songs into a 9:08 Extended Dance Re-mix, giving the release a substantially different presentation from the standard album versions. The B-side features “Colour By Numbers,” making this single a three-song snapshot of the band during its early-1980s peak.

Collector Note
This 1984 U.S. Virgin/Epic 49-04977 stereo 12-inch is a Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Pitman pressing, confirmed by the supplied runout information. The record was cut at Sterling Sound, with the star marking on Side A identifying Greg Calbi's lacquer cut, and the runouts also document Customatrix plating. This is the U.S. commercial 12-inch configuration pairing the extended “Miss Me Blind / It's A Miracle” remix with “Colour By Numbers.”
