I feel lucky that I managed to find "Built to Break" on a rare 80s album torrent (along with Scarlet Fantastic) back in 2008. The torrent site (mininova) is now dead... I guess the only other option is finding a used copy on amazon if applicable! Another really interesting rare 80s act are Sophie and Peter Johnston... I don't know why either of these bands weren't noticed.
Hi Mike, one of your huge fans from Canada here! Was there a video for Shades of Evening or am I daydreaming? Bulit to Break deserves a CD re-issue, though I am still happy with my vinyl copy!
Outstanding stuff and great memories, i now have the album built to break and also an album of 12"s called pictures on your wall, great to see the video and would love to see more!!!!!! Thank you very much. This was my favourite song of the eighties and i only paid 20p for it!!!!!! Good ole days........
Well,just wanted to get out of England and luckily my Husband's job brought us here in '96, we live in just west of Chicago so we are freezing our butt's off right now! Still have the singles and the Jap version of the album. Can't remember why Frog? Altho a few other muppet nick names went round my class so Kermit was given to me and shortened I think!
ボーカルのアンディ君の声が、玉置浩二さんに似てると思って

全員そこそこイマイチで既視観の強いルックス。
そして安っぽいサウンド。
妙にテンションが高くて変な動きのボーカル。どうしようもない彼らだが、
この切ないメロディはたまらない。
日本公演が予定されていたがキャンセルになった。おそらく券が全く売れなかったと
高校生の私は思った。
I am Japanese. I love this band.

Hi Mark,
Believe it or not I was just browsing for fun and found this! Maybe you remember me? I was known as "Frog" back then and was a huge fan of you guys.
I now live in the USA with my family and am feeling old looking back at all these 80's videos! LOL.
