History
Good Friday had started to lose the party-Latin style, giving way to more experimental pop tunes like the mambo-esque "Don't Stop That Crazy Rhythm" and the bluesy "Walking in the Rain". Both of these tunes made the Top 20 on the UK Chart. However, "Good Friday" seemed like a return to hits such as "Best Year of Our Lives" and "High Life" - and to further punctuate this, their Trick of the Light party track, "Good Feelings", was included as a double A-side, albeit re-mixed. The song underperformed, climbing to only #96. It was released simultaneously with the compilation album Party Tonight which fared well. Party Tonight was the highest-charting album for Modern Romance. "Good Friday" shared exactly the same cover as Party Tonight; it was released in two formats: a 7-inch single and 12-inch single by WEA. Tony Visconti served as producer. The reverse side of the 12-inch vinyl featured another album track and cover version from Party Tonight, "Love Letters".
