I probably ought to add before I start getting comments of the; "Why are you here if you don't like Then Jericho?" variety - or is it already too late for that?! - that I do really like this song and even went so far as buying the single. Imagine that! Personally feel this was by far their best track and that it deserved to get much higher in the charts than no. 31 or thereabouts. Yes, Mark Shaw was gorgeous but God didn't he know it!
@raspberrybaggio I have to start by saying that I am not a fan of U2 but that claim is just ridiculous. I remember Then Jericho receiving a hell of a lot of publicity when they 1st came on the scene - more than they deserved imho - and the fact that they never really made it, in their case, was down to the songs not being strong enough. So the truth is yeah, they could have been as big as U2 IF they'd had the songs! Which they didn't.
@MisAnnThorpe No. Sorry. Disagree. But then music is a personal taste so nobody is wrong or right. But their songs are pure class. Original. Fresh even today. Talent by the bucket load. It's an absolute travesty Then Jerico never got any further than they did. They should have been massive. Still winds me up when I think about it. What in the name of God went wrong?
@sunray1100 Well they can't complain that their relative lack of success was due to insufficient publicity or promotion, - unlike The Durutti Column or Talk Talk, circa Spirit of Eden/Laughing stock - so I can only conclude that the public heard them and just didn't understand what all the fuss was about. Admittedly the general public are appalling judges of quality but I think on this occasion maybe they got it right. I'd be very happy to be proved wrong. What tracks do you suggest I listen to?
@eileend100 You may love looking at Mark Shaw but I'm sure you don't enjoy looking at Mark Shaw half as much as Mark Shaw did! That man must have gone through mirrors like other people go through traffic lights. Still that's the downside of beauty; it's only temporary.
Couldn't agree more. They were just about to become massive, then Mark Shaw decides he already is, and leaves. Oh well, at least those who remember them can still enjoy those two excellent albums they made in the '80s.
@alfa1451968 U2 get on my tits with their pretentious, sanctimonious bullshit. Wish they would stop preaching to the world and just concentrate on their music. Bono does my head in. Then Jerico should have been so much bigger than they were. Their songs have stood the test of time and still sound amazing quarter of a century later. Absolute talent. Not a band on earth that could say they sound like them. Not ONE.
Brillint. was in Glasgow one weekend for a football game, got chatting to a girl in hotel bar about music and she says 'you ever hear of Then Jericho they are playing round the corner in King Tuts Hut tonight' we had great night. I still have never met anyone who likes them which is a shame but hey their loss
hey I was at that gig at King Tuts! Brilliant band. Shame he was a prat. And to answer the person above, yup he shagged the life out of Carlisle but then I reckon most guys would have...not a bad looking couple tho...
Wow was just sitting here browsing You Tube when I though I wonder if Then Jerico are on here and wow wow love this song have not heard it for years. Went to see them in concert years and years ago and they were fab. I am sitting here with a big smile on my face!!
I have had this song for years but didnt know there was a vid. knew it was belinda carlisle as was fan of hers at time too! I think I liked Mark as he bared resemblence to Morten Harket, lol
thank you for this. i spent hours looking for the name of the band because i forgot...all i remember was the singer had something to do with belinda carlisle.thanks, you are a genius, phew!
God I cant believe i was a teenager when i bought the album!! just bought a compilation cd from ebay. made me think of looking on here. just seen some videos of them live from The Tube that I remember watching at the time.
this came in a really cool gatefold mirrored kinda cover with b+w postcards inside, the ltd 7" did anyway, wonder what happened to that? belindas looking nicley slimmed thanks to the bolivian diet round about this time, proper rock chick she was back then, her and wendy james - must search transvision vamp
I agree with you, I haven't heard this for AGES and I got a shiver up my spine. Reminds me of being 14 and horny and lusting desperately after Mark Shaw ;-)
One of the best songs from the 80's. HOT singer, HOT Belinda and great song!. She made it in 1988 because she wanted to do the backups, as she did also backups in that same age for Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) and Glen Frey (The Eagles, this one also with Jane from The Go-Go's)
Yah..when did BC do this? Its really and odd song. Im surprized she agreed to such a cheesey back up and video. Im sure Mason made her do it. I think it was released late early 1990 so she was super hot, maybe MCA made her do it.
One of the best TJ songs is 'Big Area' from the soundtrack to the Mark Hamil / Early Bill Paxton film - Slipstream. Now THAT is a great song. This one is good as it has TJ and BC in it. :) Thanks for uploading.
YES! Thank you sooooo much for posting this video - I have been waiting forever for it to show up on YouTube. Now I can give the poor old VHS tape I have of this video a break. You Rock!
