I have a pathetic Eurythmics collection. I have an old Greatest Hits which came out in '91 (lost sleeves) and 1989s 'We Too Are One'. I absolutely loved 'Revival' and 'Babys Gonna Cry', partly to the fact that 91FM at the time were hammering the snot out of them. In 1990 I heard 'Revival' at the Royal Easter Show, while a machine operator was packing up his equipment with a cigarette hanging out his mouth. The music was echoing through the emptying showgrounds. "R.E.V.I.V.A.L is gonna lift you right up from your prison cell"
Fast forward to November 2005. The new single is called "I've Got A Life" is released tomorrow (Oct 31). The new single is piggied on the back of something that makes my eyes well up. A collectors deluxe boxed set, which includes all eight albums: "In The Garden" (1981), "Sweet Dreams" (1983), "Touch" (1983), "Be Yourself Tonight" (1985), "Revenge" (1986), "Savage" (1988), "We Too Are One" (1989), and "Peace" (1999).
