    I dont understand why people hate on Nick Beggs so much, I understand he doesn't have as much of the 'frontman' character about him, however he is one hell of a bass player and the Islands album is an absolute masterpiece 👌.

      When Chris Hamill was fired from the band, critics crawled all over Nick even though it was a group business decision….but, since he was the band’s spokesman…..

      I think Beggs is perfect for a leading role in a band, I also can understand why the scores of female fans swooning over Limahl couldn't in any way settle for a replacement. Both Limahl and Beggs stood out as characters and to stand out in the 80s was quite the accomplishment. Get any second-tier band from the 80s through a time machine right here and they would rule the charts for a decade straight.

      He is a brilliant bass player the band was doomed either way they wanted to be taken seriousy the manager was the problem and he should of been fired.I think islands is a great record.

    Damn ! This is an awesome song ! It’s 2023 and I lived through the great songs from the 80’s…and yet, this is the absolute first time I am listening this song and why is that ? These guys never had a good manager and also I see that they themselves missed a lot of opportunities. They could have been one of the most successful bands in England and in the world if they really wanted to, because I see a lot of talent here and they didn’t need Limahl for that ! Too bad . The bass line here is great !
    Well, well … past is past … but what if…
    This is a lesson that we can make our opportunities, you must be willing to trust and compromise. It was a great band !

      This album is really good! I also have their previous one with Limahl. They made a big mistake firing him. Yes, Nick can sing and he’s an out of this world bass player!. However, Limahl has a very smooth pop voice and great charisma. The band didn’t have the same magic withou Limahl imo.

It's funny, I've been listening since the 90s (I was a child in the 80s), but never discovered this song until recently. It came at just the right time in my life. Interesting how that works out. ;)

    I remember buying their cassette tapes when I was a Teenager and my mom looked at the cover and saw their hair and looked at my hair and said to me you guys are all weird and goofy looking but I really didn't care what she thought of them or me. Thanks for the upload.

    Una delle migliori band al mondo....hanno fatto un grande errore a dividersi....non riesco a immaginare che contributo avrebbero dato alla musica se fossero rimasti uniti...

    estoy de acuerdo con el comentario de hylian loach, un extraordinario album no valorado como corresponde.
