It was originally set for release on Friday the 13th, but that was just too g*ff for Von.

+++ On this day, the 13th of November 1981, Japan released 'Tin Drum', their 5th and final studio album. +++

Contained within was 'Ghosts', which when released as a single (in a different version) was their biggest hit, reaching No5, but this was not enough to stop the band splitting.
