That Sleepthief cover has to be one of my favorites. Hope it makes the countdown this year.
So, so, good!!!! One of my favorites, Brian.
Wow!
Those “Rio” and “Chauffeur” covers were awesome.
I was surprised though by the comment that DD pretty much faded away after “Seven and the Ragged Tiger” until after 1996. I recall the “Arena” live album from 1984 was a massive seller, and contained “The Wild Boys” (that video…LOL), which reached number 2 on the USA and UK charts.
This brought back such memories as I was a huge DD fan. Seeing them on the Diana concert the other week though was sad, they were AWFUL. Time to get back sailing Simon!
Thought this might interest you.
