This is my favourite album of all time. I was lucky enough to get hold of a mint copy to replace my very worn original copy, only available, if at all, on vinyl I believe. This takes me back to my late teens, very eighties, very slick in production at a time when reverb was added to everything, but superb. The synth textures, electric drums and lashings of reverb give it a depth on vinyl which is amazing, add into the mix Peter Gamble's vocals and the well written, heartfelt lyrics, this album gets a maximum score from me. Considering also that U2 released 'The Unforgettable Fire' in the same year, this is in a different league and I really like U2! (Edited)
