Notes

℗ 1980 Original sound recording made by Chiswick Records Ltd.
There are both matte paper and card sleeves which are top opening with a wide die cut thumb section.
Chiswick 'tone-arm' paper labels, four prong push-out centre. Gripper rings moulded at the circumference of the labels.

The title of the song is derived from a scene in the Marx Brothers' 1935 movie A Night at the Opera. Groucho Marx is attempting to explain the intricacies of a business contract to Chico Marx.
When Groucho mentions the Sanity Clause, Chico responds, "You can't fool me, there ain't no sanity clause."

Runouts are stamped.
'Made in Gt. Britain'.
