前作「ナイロン・カーテン」以降のシングルは全部ちゃんとカヴァーがあったはずですが、このレコには付いていませんでした。プロモにこだわると、日本ではなかなか見つからず、海外から買うと5000円は超えそうです(送料が3000円を超える)。円が100円ぐらいの時に海外からまとめて買ってたんですけど、失敗したなと思ってます。

"Tell Her About It" is a song written and performed by Billy Joel from his album "An Innocent Man" (1983), released as the album's first single in 1983. In the song, the singer exhorts a young man to tell the woman he loves how he feels about her before he misses his chance. It hit the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for one week on September 24, 1983, replacing "Maniac" by Michael Sembello. The single was certified Gold by the RIAA for US sales of over 500,000 copies.
A "special version" mixed by John "Jellybean" Benitez was also released as a 12-inch maxi single. The cover art varied depending on the country of release. The remixed version was longer, approximately five-and-a-half minutes. The B-side featured Joel's song "Easy Money" from the same album, and a live recording of the song "You Got Me Hummin'" written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter.
