REQUEST
“The Second Time” is the first single from Kim Wilde’s 1984 album Teases & Dares. It was re-titled “Go for It” for the North American market.
The track was also Wilde’s first release on the MCA record label. Her last few releases on her original label had failed to make an impact on the world’s charts, but this one finally put her back into the limelight in several European countries, and made #29 in the UK. It also marked her second chart entry in the US, where it peaked at #65.
“The Second Time”/”Go for It” was also the first Wilde song of which there were several remixes released both commercially and promotionally on the 12″ format.

DJPaulT; question. Does an LP with a stamping that says For Promotion Only (like the one on the Kim Wilde record) make it worth more than if it doesn’t have said stamp?
Just curious.
DjPaulT said
matracas, some record collectors will say they are worth more and some will say they are not because the stamp kind of ruins the artwork. The stamped copies are usually free copies that were sent out by the record companies to DJ’s, radio stations and record stores to promote the single. I personally try not to buy them unless I just absolutely have to because I am all about the artwork as well as the vinyl. However some of the stamped copies are advance releases which make the the first pressings. But overall they are not worth more.
I hope this helps some with your question.
