These songs. What can you say? . East of Eden? What a song to start with. Yep. Look Away? What a song!!!. I'll go now. BC just superb as always. Thanks for a wonderful upload once again. Stay alive Rip Big Man
At the 5:05 mark, Stuart says, "Sometimes simple's best." Makes me wonder if this was the impetus for one of my favorite lesser-known Big Country songs, "Simple's Always Best."
If only East of Eden would have gotten a push in America... yes, I wish but it couldn't have because that song and album bespoke the seriousness of this extraordinary band. They could no longer be successfully marketed as pop mainstream despite the early success of the Crossing and its singles. However, had Wonderland been the single after the Crossing material faded, I believe the pop chart success could have been sustained until Look Away took over. After that single the schizo confusion about direction set in and everyone lost confidence until finally Fragile Thing got scuttled and the ship finally sank. Serious albums highlighted by pop hit singles would have been the winning ticket. Stuart had the ability to accomplish that but he got bad advice all along the business line. Had he connected w/ his interior Seer figure, things would have gone better. True for all of us, I'm sure.
A great insight on Stuart's intelligence and philosophy (plus his humour😁). Thanks for posting it.
Smashed it again BC! 😆

@@MrThistlethwaite Very thought provoking 👍
I was done with & out of radio by this time - wish I'd heard it then, though.
Thanks so much for the birthday present. Who told you?😉
Stuart realised now that his trust in certain people especially producers was shown with PIOT, NPLH, and to The Seer as well
His trust was shaat
How tall was Stuart Adamson? Always wanted to find out
I asked a friend who I know would know and she said Stuart told her he was 6’2.
@@BC1000Stars he looks taller In the nineties than he looked early mid eighties
Ha! I agree! Must have been the black leather trousers 😂
@@BC1000Stars 😂, saw a documentary of bc in the early eighties and there was a clip of Stuart smoking, never new he smoked
