"Squares And Triangles" is the debut single released by Thompson Twins. It was written when the band was a four-piece consisting of Tom Bailey, Pete Dodd, John Roog, and Chris Bell. The single was originally released in three different colored sleeves (red/yellow, red/green, red/white).[1] In 1982, the single was re-released in a black/white sleeve as a free EP along with the album Set [2] featuring "Weather Station", a track composed by Tom Bailey for an independent film called 'The Onlooker' (1982) and "Modern Plumbing".[3] "Modern Plumbing" was a song recorded in late 1979 by The Blankets, a project including Tom Bailey, John Hade, and Traci. The track was used as the intro tape to the live shows for the first year or two of performing in London.[4]
