"The city is quiet, too cold to walk alone, Strangers in overcoats hurry on home" - such great lyrics!
One More Chance was originally released as the duo's second
single in 1984, although it failed to chart. It was re-recorded for the
second album Actually in 1987 by Julian Mandelsohn. The album
track is actually a 12 inch remix, again by Julian
Mandelsohn, of the 7-inch re-recording.
The Actually
album was released in September 1987 and peaked at #2 in the UK album
charts and achieved 3x platinum status. In the U.S. it peaked at #25.
Actually, (forgive the pun!) I was listening to this album again last night and it made me realise that this is the perfect pop album. Really enjoyed every track and any one of them could have been released as a single. Now, if only I could go back to the 80s I would be a very happy bunny!
