Barbara Gogan and The Passions were probably the most overlooked band of the time.. and SO FANTASTIC! Into Night, Sanctuary.. I love everything they did.. sooo wish they'd do a reunion tour
Brilliant ! I'd completely forgotten about this lot so thanks for posting. After doing some "surfing", it seems one of their albums is being re-issued by Cherry Red Records on 21July.
This makes one wonder how many other gems are "hiding in the woodwork" from that time period !
I'll second that! I've had the album that features that song since back then. Love Is Essential was the only song I ever played from it (and still do). Brilliant!
not cool
