Actually it is on Hardest Hits Volume 2, by SPG Music Ltd of Toronto. Hardest Hits is collection of early 80s alt music that was very hard to find on vinyl in Toronto when it was issued. The cds are sometimes on Amazon. More to the point, I love this song, and Peter Gabriel is just the piece de resistance
This song riocked my soul when I was a teenager but I never knew who sang it until now when I punched in part of the lyrics. I love Google and You Tube.
I'm willing to bet Australia was one of the few countries where this was a huge hit. In the 70's and 80's many left of centre classics like this made the top ten on aussie radio.
Love it....I remember meeting my best friend 10 yrs ago and he had this in his music collection. I was the only person he knew who saw it and reacted so enthusiastically. It had been one of my faves in early 80's.
Did not occur to me at the time...this is about Nuclear war?
Hey I've been chasing this song on and off, no luck, for about 20 years ! An absolute classic. Look forward to getting it on download or CD now. No 80's collection can be complete without this classic ! Rock-on Johnny W. :-)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this song. Brought back some great memories seeing the vid again. This still gets regular air play in Perth, Australia. Shows how a classic can stand the test of time. Johnny Warman, talk about your underrated talent.
Great to see that Johnny Warman has responded her himself! I love this song with its suggestive beat. Just linked this at my Facebook site. I've got the vinyl singel but I'm looking forward to be getting it on CD as well. Hard or difficult to find so far. So, Johnny, good news!
Signed to Elton Johns Rocket Records this got embarrassingly little promotion and even less air play - I only heard it thanks to the late great Peely. Bought this in the old Virgin Megastore, London, never regretted it. It had enough 'thump' to shake the living room ceiling and the screaming bits didn't half make my neighbours dog howl!!! A professional talented musician, a well crafted album, even the cover was well done --- badly let down by the £20 they spent promoting it. What a waste
@FoolOfGods Dear Fool of Gods, Thank you so much for your very kind words about my music and song. I am still active in the music scene but not doing enough to promote my own music. I am re releasing "Walking into Mirrors" on Angel Air Records to celebrate its release 30 years ago. Kind Regards Johnny Warman
@Mirrors81 Dear Mr Waughman, Many thanks, used to work in the record library of local radio station, we (the plebeian staff) genuinely expected your music and thereby 'you' to be widely recognised - given that your sound was welcomed as a cross between Roger Waters, Cluster (Eno) and John Foxx (bless him)! I've bought and listened to 'From the Jungle' and 'Hour Glass' ... good works that have stood the test of time ... John Peel once described 'Walking into Mirrors as 'hmm ... remarkable'.

Funnily enough Gabriel was heavily involved in "The Dreaming" as well and collaborated a lot with Bush. She did the backing vocals on "Games without Frontiers".
