Thompson Twins - Hold Me Now (12 Inch Version)
I’ve always had a soft spot for the Thompson Twins as
they released some excellent records in the 80s and had quite a unique sound.
Their albums “Quick Step & Side Kick” and “Into The
Gap” are outstanding, both featuring fantastic singles including “Hold Me Now”,
which is off the album “Into The Gap”. It is the bands biggest selling single.
The A Side of the single featured a glorious 10 minute
extended version of “Hold Me Now”, on the B Side was an Extended version of
“Let Loving Start”, which is in effect a strange “Dub Version”, not the best B
Side I have heard and I have probably on ever played it once!
The single was released in November 1983 and reached
Number 4 in the UK Singles chart and Number 3 in the US Billboard Top 100,
where it remained in the chart for 21 weeks.
