Sometimes a song triggers a joke in my head funny only to me.  Such is the case with "Can't Stand Losing You."  In my brain, the lyrics are anti-cough drop.  That's right "I can't, I can't, I can't stand LUDENS."

I got this back when I would occasionally buy a single of a hit song that I liked in my pre-teen years.  This was a dollar find, I'm guessing at a WCUW used record fair.  I think I also found Tom Petty's then recent Long After Dark for $3 so that would place it around 1982 that I found this.

The 2 hits back to back mean you don't get their intended B-sides: "Peanuts" which was also on Outlandos D'Amour with the hits and "Dead End Job" which was a  single only track.  

Neat artifact from when people bought consolidated reissues of hit 45's.

Can't stand LUDIN' you!
