The autumn of the same year, Mark Beaven of AAM, New York City made contact with Oily to enquire about the availability of APB for a small tour of the East Coast of America. When they arrived in New York they heard their tracks played on college radio and in clubs such as Danceteria , Berlin and the Mudd Club . This was encouraging, and the tour was a great success. With the backing of Mark Beaven, this turned out to be the first of 12 visits over the next seven years. The band’s sixth single “What Kind of Girl” (1984) came out on Albion in the UK and “Sleeping Bag Records” in the USA. It was recorded at Unique in Manhattan, home of the electro/hip-hop producers Arthur Baker and John Robie . The track received much radio play, especially on WLIR/WDRE on Long Island.
