I used to screw an old girlfriend to it in 1982.
I lived with a guy from Liverpool in the early 80s. He said one of his mates back home screwed the brunette in the band (Joanne Catherall) back before she was famous.

What do y'all think about this classic?


It mixes perfectly with Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus. They're both are in C major....

I took a fairly deep dive in to Synth Pop a few years ago. There are tons of forgotten or little known British classics from that period that never really got significant airplay in the US. Yazoo, Xymox, Book of Love and When in Rome just to name a few....

Human League is from Sheffield, so that's plausible.

Man, good picks.

TIL that "The Promise" was not sung by Depeche Mode and was, in fact, sung by When In Rome. '

Haven't thought of some of those songs in 20 years.
