Contents
The album includes the dance hit "Heartbeat" and the chart hits "Heaven" and "The Ghost in You". Despite substantial success internationally, "Heaven" was not released as a single in America. Instead, another track from the album, "Here Come Cowboys", was released and the video for it received some airplay on the then, very new and popular MTV network.
The Psychedelic Fur's drummer Vince Ely had left the band, leaving lead singer Richard Butler and bass player Tim Butler along with guitarist John Ashton to work as a trio. For this album, record producer Keith Forsey handled the majority of the drumming, with session musician Tommy Price playing the drums on two tracks. The album became their second in the United States to go Gold, 500,000 units sold.
Personnel
The artwork and design was a tribute to Barney Bubbles who had died the previous year in 1983. He was acknowledged in the credits with the words "after Barney Bubbles".
