Actually it was on the _same_ album as "Run, Runaway".  In the UK, it was
"The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome", but in the US, "Cocky Rock Boys (Rule OK)"
was replaced with what became the title track, "Keep Your Hands Off My
Power Supply".  This was one album that really showed how a record company
can hack up an album when it goes to the states.  Side 2 of TAKS rocked,
but KYHOMPS rearranged the tracks, destroying the flow of one song into
another, and seemed like a real chop job in comparison.

TAKS/KYHOMPS was followed in 1985 by "Rogues Gallery", and "You Boyz
Make Big Noize" in 1986.

"Keep..." that was the retitled one, not "You Boyz..."
