Thanks so much for posting this. The band that will always be the most important for me in a life full of music. Somewhere in an attic in London I have every vinyl they every released and two copies of several just in case. And listening to a couple of tracks has sent shivers down my spine all over again.

Now I need to track down a good copy of the John Peel broadcast live from Manchester Apollo in - 1982_

Happy days, yes the productions 'muddy' but the song is years ahead of it's time. Bloody genius, time for a comeback?

@bromodomain, yes Imperial was a bit straight laced if I remember right. You can hear a live version of 'Lost In Music' recorded [in the audience] at The Ritz in Manchester on the passage website -

I've posted a poor quality clip to go with 'drugface' on here.

@joethebuffalo I remember a gig you did at Imperial College in the early 80s. As a big Passage fan, couldnt really believe you'de pitched up there, but a great gig. I remember an encore that was a version of Sister Sledge's Lost in Music - typical Passage, thundering percussion, Dick's swirling synth lines, Andy sawing away at the guitar. Thanks for the music! xXx

Astonished to find this little gem on Youtube.

I remember it from the John Peel show around 1981.
