Love this! One of my favorite albums, and a couple of other newsletters have mentioned it recently.

My youngest went through a phase where he was playing Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Head Over Heels as his choice for on the way to school (he heard them on Fortnite). When I got out my record player in July, and found my vinyl copy of this, I have played it many times - several per his request and several because I just love the whole thing! Every song is so great! Every time I go through my albums I have to play it.

I recently saw Brigette Calls Me Baby and was watching some of their interviews, and the lead singer named this as one of his three desert island albums (along with the 1975s and Black Celebration). It would definitely be in my top 50.

It's definitely in my top 100. Maybe higher but that's only because I listen to all kind of music.

I remember listening to these songs on mtv as a kid (when they actually played music).

Same!! Loved the video for Head Over Heels! It was one that I sat by the TV with a video in the VHS player waiting to record like we did with cassettes on the radio.
