AUGUST - THE MONTH OF REPEATS : WHEN ALL'S WELL

From TVV, Monday July 13 2009

MY LOVE IS LIKE CATHEDRAL BELLS

Some fantastic plastic from 1985.

A superb single, backed with two memorable b-sides. Including a cover. And a brilliant sleeve as well. What more could you ask for on a Monday?

mp3 : Everything But The Girl - When All's Well
mp3 : Everything But The Girl - Heaven Help Me
mp3 : Everything But The Girl - Kid

It reached the giddy heights of #77. I'm still amazed that all The Smiths fans out there never rushed out and bought this single as it wasn't a million miles removed from the sort of tunes Johnny Marr was writing and recording at the time.

It would be another three years before Everything But The Girl ever cracked the pop charts. And it would take until 1994 and a change of direction before they really became famous. But that's two other stories for two other times...
 
2011 Update.  I've since found the promo.....I'd forgotten all about it as well.  Only in the 80s......

Love Not Money was vastly under-rated when released in 1985. I guess the sleeve was too risque for some...
