I’d give it 2/5. Just never liked it. Sounds far too twee.

I would have gone for Shady Lady, Who Asked You or Runaway as a single instead though.

Maybe should have done that then, but I suppose Island was another top 20 hit.

Like Rick used to say ,this one had a sprinkle of magic dust over it. Lovely song.

Never was overly keen on who asked you. Beginning to wonder about whether they really did have all the terrible reviews they sing about here (Alan's song of course ,not Francis )

Fairly sure it wouldn't have set the world alight.

Yeah - a song I've increasingly come to think of as my favourite on WYW.

Right now I can't think [nor care] who wrote it, it's brilliant and that's enough!

Underappreciated.

Because of the long bit. At the end. The single version is OK. Half decent melody. Not one I play a lot of though. Moody Blues? Not sure about that.

backwater67: Looks like fretbuzzzz has based his sales on BPI sales awards. Back in the 1970s & 80s silver sales were based on minimum 250,000 units sold. (Today silver sales are awarded for 200,000 units) May 6, 2020 18:27:41 GMT

juansupposin: 21st September 91 at Wembley, the 45 min Guinness concert, probably not the best concert to start, only 45 min, I remeber thinking they will play longer because it was the last concert
