The title track hit No.2 in the singles chart and is regularly used to this day in adverts and TV shows. The second disc is 1982’s ‘Pinky Blue’ album which reached No.12. Included are the hit singles ‘I Could Be Happy’ (No.7), ‘See Those Eyes’ (No.11) and ‘Pinky Blue’ (No.35) . ‘Bite’, the band’s third album, makes up Disc 3. This reached No.16 in 1983 and includes the hit singles ‘Don’t Talk To Me About Love’ (No.7), ‘Bring Me Closer’ (No.29) and ‘Love To Stay’ (No.46). The fourth disc, ‘The 12” Album’ contains eight extended versions from the days when mixes of all sizes were all the rage! The booklet contains detailed liner notes by Record Collector’s Daryl Easlea plus illustrations of all relevant singles sleeves. Vocalist Clare Grogan still fronts the band and is a regular highlight of the 80s Revival and Rewind shows.
