When i collected all their singles and albums i could not wait for Into the gap to come out as a single. Unfortunately they decided to bring sister of mercy out as a single(Hannah's choice i believe) instead. I always bought the extended versions(12 inch vinyl disc), but was so disappointed this particular single didn't make it out as a single.

Well, Into the Gap was released as a single in 1984, but only in US, Germany, other European countries, but not in the UK. You can check it in discogs.

Ah the 80s.... No decade will compare to the music that came out of this decade.

I was in high school when this song came out. It was always played at our school dances.

Now all the kids listen to rap which is crap in my opinion.

Thanks for positng this awsome song and letting me relive being 16 again :-)

I love these guys! I need help with a song if anyone can please view the unknown song video and see if y'all know it or not? Myself and many other dj's have been trying to find this for over nine years. I was recorded by me off the quake around 1982-83ish and the gap came out shortly after. Any help would be appreciated! thx!

@devil13332 no you want to be born in 70s because if you were Born in 80s you would just be a baby and still deal with this new music crap. If born in 70s, you would live the 80s and be an adult with this crappy music. And be to busy to listen to it!

Sounds just a little similar to Matt Johnson(The The)'s "Three Orange Kisses from Kazan" in the beginning.

Once when I worked in midtown Manhattan I would play this on my walkman whilst crossing Fifth Avenue as my lunchtime ritual.

They performed this on SNL when it was still watchable.

@Myworld1916 *India* ? That's a bit odd. This song uses *Middle Eastern* music, and *Aladdin* is Middle Eastern as well, not *Indian*

@Pinballpete007 i loved the 80's, grad 83! hollar! anyways i like rap when it first came out, curtis blow, sugar hill gang, etc...rap now..sorry...too vulgar 4 me and i'm a grown woman if i had kids it would not come into my house. like i said went to all black school but mtv opened my eyes to different kinds of music which i STILL love today especially UK, Germany, anyting overseas really. :)
