Had forgotten how good this one is. Five love tracks for me which is rare on a studio album. Twin brothers Charlie and Craig Reid popped up out of Scotland in 1988
with a surprise hit single from this album, I'm Gonna Be, better known as 500 Miles but the title on my album is the former. Hadn't heard better harmonies by a duo since
the Everly's when this came out. S&G don't count, in their own league. The Proclaimers are considered a 1 hit wonder here. Another one where the public was out of
tune. The just didn't fit the rockstar image, being all clean cut. But damn they had some good music. Didn't know the Housemartins had a hand in discovering the
brothers, hyped their demo I guess.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM
