Then by far his most popular album. Loved by fans and crtics alike, topping lists all over the world, earning 3x platinum in UK and 5x platinum in US. And the no less than five spawned 45:s did very well too. Amazing as all that was back in the mid-eighties it was a different time, the world has changed a lot since and we with it. Question is - is is still that good in this new time and age and does it still give me goosebumps? After giving it my first profound hearing in a decade or so I'm happy to say - it is and it does. I'm not turned on by "Sledgehammer" anymore, but the rest is just awesome. The duet with Kate Bush in "Don't Give Up" has a timeless beauty that no changing zeitgeists can conquer. "In Your Eyes" an intriguing piece of world music, managing to be serious and seductive at the same time. "Red Rain" and "Mercy Street" deep and commited, yet very catchy. There were many big sellers released around that time, but not many have survived this well. I'm still touched. Issued and reissued on every possible format, with or without bonus tracks, all over the world through the years. First US on Geffen (GHS 24088). Premiere UK had label as shown here in a thin fully laminated cover with laminated lyric/credit inner. (GYÄ*) (CÄX*)
