'Je veux de l'amour' ('I want love') is the desperate cry of an artist who has everything in his career, except love. Belgian singer Raymond van 't Groenewoud played a very believable role in this song, with his emotive vocals.
'The biggest fool of all' was released as the second single from Cock Robin's second album 'After here through midland'. A limited edition was packaged with a poster sleeve, featuring the photograph from the album's sleeve.
'It's all gone' was the first single from Chris Rea's 1986 album 'On the beach'. The track was written by Chris Rea and produced by Rea with Dave Richards.
'Torture' was the third single taken from King's second album 'Bitter sweet'. The single was released in January 1986 and reached number 23 in the UK singles chart.
'All out of love' is one of those immortal lovesongs that pops up on compilation albums and radio programmes regularly. It was originally recorded by British/Australian pop group Air Supply and released as a single in 1980. It reached number 27 in the Dutch Top 40, number 2 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 11 in the UK singles chart.
The 1983 10CC album was mostly a product of Eric Stewart, as Graham Gouldman only performed partial lead vocals on one song. The album featured a lot of session musicians and Stewart later reflected that the original idea of a concept album was not realised. 'I longed to be like Pink Floyd and just go for large musical statements like 'One night in Paris' and 'Feel the benefit', but we were locked onto the singles roundabout, the 'quick buck', and it was impossible to break free at the time.'
'Mary Ann' is a rather straightforward love song, performed by the English band Black Lace. They represented the United Kingdom during the 1979 Eurovision Song Contest with this song. It finished eleventh in a field of 19 contestants. The single reached number 42 in the UK charts, the lowest placing for a Eurovision entrant in many years.
