...which also appears on the band's 1999 reunion album, "Don't Mind If I
Do." To this day, I still don't understand what marketing genius decided
that it wasn't worth Virgin America's while to release it in the States.
It's as strong an album as anything in their back catalog, and that includes
"Colour By Numbers." Considering that, at the time, the band were just
coming off a reunion tour of the States with Howard Jones and the Human
League, I'd love to hear exactly why they thought it'd be a risk to put it
out in the U.S....especially when the band's "VH-1 Storytellers" was such a
success...
