Since I posted this single a couple of years ago, there's been a number of insightful comments.  I'm always extremely flattered when members of the group stop by and add their thoughts, so thanks are due to Ray Edwards and Eddi Reader, who sang backing vocals. Apparently the band were fabulous live.

A Change Is Gonna Come

I've been a bit bored with this blog recently. Mainly this has to do with pressures of work and other things, such as my impending 40th birthday and some personal soul-searching.

I considered quitting the blog altogether but instead I think I am going to change the format slightly, not that I think anyone would care too much one way or the other.

I'm doing away with "Random 80's Wednesday" and instead I am going to try and post a different single every day. At the weekends I will post an album or two, honor any requests, and whine about whatever I feel like.

I have also decided to sell much of my music collection. If you are interested, you can find these items on eBay, my store name is Displaced Music.

Random 80's Wednesday

Screen 3 - Hearts In Limbo (7" Single, 1982)
Keep It Dark - Dreamer (from 1st Down And Ten, 1986)
French Revolution - This Is Not The End (from Fantasia, 1988)
The Producers - Table For One (from Run For Your Life, 1985)

The Lightning Seeds - Sweet Dreams (1990)

I knew that the singles released from The Lightning Seeds debut CD Cloudcuckooland included the classic single "Pure" and the decent follow up "All I Want". With a bit of prodding I might have remembered that "Joy" was the other single release. Which made my discovery of this promotional single for "Sweet Dreams" just a little more intriguing. I couldn't say I remembered this track at all from the album - but then again I haven't heard the LP itself in years. So it was kind of a nice surprise. Plus, the two extra tracks - which found their way on to the "Sense" single release a couple of years later - are both rewarding in themselves. So here they all are.

1. Sweet Dreams
2. Hang On To A Dream
3. Flaming Sword
