If you look around, you can find a live Talk Talk album from that year. It's called "London 1985" |

I Believe In You
(Mark Hollis / Tim Friese-Greene)
Hear it in my spirit
I've seen heroin for myself
On the street so young laying wasted
Enough ain't it enough
Crippled world
I just can't bring myself to see it starting
Tell me how I fear it
I buy prejudice for my health
Is it worth so much when you taste it
Enough there ain't enough hidden hurt
A time to sell yourself
A time for passing
Spirit
How long

This is more than compelling for a first-time listen to what many would describe as 'off-the-wall'.
Talk Talk, eh?

I did. That was straight-to-the-bone. Had never heard this before. RP delivers again. Another purchase I would never have made.
Wow.

Again a listener/uploader, Bill and Rebecca brought us good stuff. Without RP, I won't probably have not listened to Talk Talk again and purchased one of their CD.

If you haven't heard "Laughing Stock" - it's every bit as good as Spirit of Eden. I don't see anything in the RP rotation from LS, unfortunately. |
