Come on home - Everything but the girl

It must be a shock for those who know Everything but the girl for their dance-oriented tracks in the Nineties to hear this orchestral ballad from 1986. The sparse beats of later years have made way for this lush, baroque sound.

'Come on home' comes from the duo's 1986 album 'Baby the stars shine bright', an entire album of original songs performed with an orchestra. The single peaked at number 44 in the UK, number 27 in Ireland and number 31 in the Netherlands.

My collection: 7" single no. 2756
Found: House of Rhythm, London, October 29, 1996
Cost: 1 pound
Tracks: 'Come on home' / 'Draining the bar'
