I'm so sorry to hear about your husband - I'm sure you loved him very much. You might be interested to know my first job was as a Product Manager at RCA/BMG and I did the marketing for Fairground Attraction who were one of my first successes! Perfect was just that and the album was amazing too. The band were lovely and I went to New Orleans with them for a video shoot. Although a tough industry with long hours and challenging work, I had a blast and feel very lucky to have had 20+ years of fun in the music business (domestic and international so I got to travel too). I'm living in the USA but still have very fond memories of this band, the graphic designers (Andy Vella and Laurence Stevens) and the whole RCA team.

I am a vocalist, and this is one of my favourite go to songs when I sing and play my guitar. CLASSIC!

Such a brilliant quote. That's me in a nutshell, kind of sad. Thanks for posting it.

I came looking for this today, because it was playing in Morrison's. I was in the alcohol aisle, and I noticed a little, middle aged woman dancing along to it. She saw me looking and just went with it, dancing at me, smiling behind her mask, eyes creasing, until I danced back at her. It is the first time I've heard this tune since it was played at my friend's funeral. Mixed emotions, obviously, but a classic tune and a wonderful moment.

The timing of this song was just 'perfect' in my relationship with my wife to be Jenny Jones, almost 30 years ago. We walked down the street in Bath, the song was blasting out from a record shop & Jen rushed in and bought the cassette. It has been our 'touchstone' ever since and up there in my favourite all time top ten.

Haven't heard this one in 30 years. But it still gives me shivers now. What a VOICE!

Hey that's me sitting on the bow of the narrowboat, I was there to make the rain, It was shot along the Regents Canal from Little Venice and down into Limehouse Basin where we stopped for lunch, I'm pretty sure we must have gone to the Grapes, because I recollect looking out over the Thames from a balcony in the pub. Being the late 80's when health and safety wasn't so rampant, little consideration was given for water born pathogens such as Weil's disease the water for the rain being pumped straight from the canal, and for some of the shots in Eyre's Tunnel with a generator running (providing power for the lighting) that was progressively smoking us out, we were 'footing' the boat backwards and forwards to get the right speed of travel for the shot. Just another day in the life of a physical FX guy.
