THE STORY

“Sexuality” was released as a limited international single in only a few territories. The Australian edition is unique for pairing it with “I Wanna Be Your Lover” as the B-side instead of “Controversy”.

CONTEXT & NOTES

This was one of the final releases from the Controversy album campaign. The Australian pressing used a generic WEA company sleeve and is relatively rare compared to other international variants.
