Additional Information
New Warm Skin is only available as a B-side with this release.

The limited edition flexdisk was apparently limited to 7500 copies, and also featured a unique remix of Film Theme (the first Simple Minds remix).

John Leckie, the groups producer, created a special dance 12" of I Travel which Simple Minds wanted released. However, Arista UK were reluctant to issue it, prompting the group to take it to Ariola Records in France, who promptly issued it themselves. Arista records had to then import copies for the clubs and record shops in England. (Most copies have "reorder" stickers with the UK catalogue number : ARIST 12372). So all the UK copies are actually French Ariola copies (Arista 600 289)

I don't know of any real UK versions of the 12" but if you have one then I'd love to know about it.

Additionally, Film Theme Dub was selected for the B-side (which is indicated on the label and the sleeve) but the record actually plays Film Theme.
