They are noted both for their poetic storytelling and high-quality productions as for the
numerous setbacks they experienced. These setbacks ultimately prevented them
from making their big break, making them a big what-if of the burgeoning English new
wave scene. The band's 1986 single Brilliant Mind eventually reached #21 on the UK
Singles Chart and remains their only entry on it. Writer and vocalist Jim Irvin recalled
that the chorus came to him on the bus, just after registering for unemployment
benefits. It became the first single of their second album The Wrong People, which
became a cult classic in later years. Now, on its 40th anniversary, we are reissuing the
12" single in its original form.Brilliant Mind is available as a 40th anniversary limited
edition on half yellow and half red coloured vinyl.
