When In Rome - Promise
(Coliseum Mix)
This is another one of
those singles that should have done a lot better than it did, after the success
of “The Promise” the band disappeared into the ether! They did release another
very good track “Heaven Knows” but that didn’t dent the charts at all.
The Coliseum Mix of “The
Promise” is an outstanding mix, superbly produced and sounds very powerful,
especially the drums and rhythm section, it wasn’t the “A” side of the 12 Inch
it was track 1 on the B Side. The “A” side featured the O.N Mix, which was also
an extended version, the other track on the flipside was a Dub Version of “The
Promise”.
The single was released
in 1987 and only made Number 58, in the states it did much better, reaching
Number 11 in the Billboard Hot 100.
I was lucky enough to do
an interview with Clive Farrington, the lead singer of When In Rome for a Radio
Podcast and what a top fella he is and he is still doing concerts as part of the UK
version of When In Rome.
