Rare 1985 UK 3-track 12" featuring 2 untitled tracks, the second track was originally titled Bell Of New York, taken from the title of the barrel organ melody that opens the song. The third track but had originally featured on a 1983 radio session where it was called The Nursery At The End Of Time, which subsequently featured as the B-Side to the November 1985 single Darkness Has Reached Its End where it was simply titled The End Of Time, picture sleeve RTT158

Astley is more widely known for the people she's played with than her own records. A classically trained British pianist and flutist who also happens to be Pete Townshend's sister-in-law, she contributed piano to Townshend's "Slit Skirts," and has played sessions for Siouxsie & the Banshees. Her late-'70s band, the Ravishing Beauties, also included future Dream Academy singer Kate St. John and Nicky Holland, who would work with Tears for Fears and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Astley's sparse body of work combines ambient, even experimental textures and song structures with her pretty soprano vocals. Producing three albums (only the last of which was released in the U.S.) and a handful of single and EP tracks, she remains virtually unknown to American audiences. Her records are recommended to listeners looking for intriguing ambient British pop who find the Cocteau Twins and the 4AD stable too wimpy and pretentious.
