      Most people hate this release, so why is it so expensive?😂
      I hated it as well in 1984, skipped it for 40 years, until now, the Are People People? Mix is kinda interesting. I think i like it.
      The Master And Servant (An ON-USound Science Fiction Dance Hall Classic) never has grown to me. too distorted sounds.

        The reviews here could as well be from 1984. Most people that I knew that loved DM at the time were completely abhorred by this remix. They just looked like "this didn't happen - I'll keep a blank expression and just move on". I never liked M&S anyway, so I thought it was just a bit of a laugh and still the best version of the song. Maybe it is S&M? 😂 "Are People People?" on the other hand is a legitimate Q, and the answer might not even be found in this remix, but as Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, this is just hilarious from start to finish - 5/5 for transforming the original into a proper mind bender. Then B2 comes along like a sorted cousin from the country, restoring the original single's intentions - which in comparison to the other two tracks here is - daring to say the least.

          This remix is absolutely horribly terrible. Lots of random noises kill a great song. I thought my record player was broken! I really hate this version.
