Ooooo, if this is the bluish-cover one with them across the bottom edge,
from about '84 or so, it is highly NOT RECOMMENDED, 

NEWSFLASH!   ...I just checked some YMO homepages.  I once had the
"Naughty Boys" vocal version, so I've never heard the instrumental
version.  I do remember that there were significant reggae-pop influences
on this record and quite a bit of new digital sounds (Fairlight..?..that
would make sense given that a year later Sakamoto was all over the
Fairlight)

The vocal record is not very rare as I've seen it before.  Check out
http://www.tezcat.com/~klee/ymodisk.html for a reference to these lps.  If
you pull up the vocal version there are links to the horrid lyrics; that
should give you some idea where this record was going...

The Instrumentals might be ok, but I don't recall this being anywhere near
B-2 Unit or Technodelic or X Infinity...
