about

Rescued from a copy of the revox 1/4 inch reel to reel and lovingly remastered as all these tracks have been...again, there is some drop out but I think it still sounds pretty fresh for 1984! The drum machine is a sequential circuits Drumtrax...wish I still had that..Lovely bass playing by Steve Lamb...synth is a Prophet 5...again, wish I still had that! This was our first single, recorded at Oval Mansions and pressed up, 500 copies, to vinyl. It opened a lot of doors for us this single and led to some festivals in Germany through our then manager, Johannes Wessels.

lyrics

I stand at the edge of a wishing pool...it's an ocean, an ocean of tears..I pick up all the coins, throw them back into the sea. I'll make a wish for you will you make a wish for me...in the Driving Rain.
