I haven't listened to this album for decades and had forgotton what a masterpiece it is. In 1984 it bearly scraped into the Top 100 album charts, but was something of a cult record and their later releases were hits. But this album was too melancholic, ethereal and haunting to get much in the way of exposure on daytime radio. If you've had a noisy boozie Saturday night, this is the perfect antidote record for feeling "Easy like Sunday Morning" 🤓

A stunning debut, this was the standout to my ear. |

Thanks Andy
I did try the debut album but didn't connect with it
Rare that one your top tips doesn't work for me
Still, we can't like everything (and I'm still absolutely besotted by the Ash back catalogue)
