John Waite - Missing You

"Missing You" is a song co-written and recorded by English musician John Waite. It was released in June 1984 as the lead single from his second album, No Brakes (1984). 

This 1984 copy of is a nice genuine piece of French 1980s broadcast history, meaning this exact vinyl record was once used in rotation by a radio DJ on the airwaves of Radio West 95FM based in Le Mans,  During the 1980s, newly legalized French independent and local FM stations commonly placed physical ink stamps or promotional stickers directly onto their vinyl record sleeves to catalog station inventory and prevent theft.

The old French phone format shown on the stamp, (40) 94.25.89, corresponds to the historic regional dial code for the Sarthe (Le Mans) and western French regions before France transitioned to its current 10-digit system in 1996.
