Give - Missing Persons

Missing Persons was founded by Warren Cuccurullo, Dale Bozzio and Terry Bozzio. They recruited Patrick O'Hearn and Chuck Wild. After releasing an EP and a debut album, the album 'Rhyme & Reason' came out in 1984. After the success of their debut album, this album sold less well.

'Give' was the second single drawn from the album, and the striking video for it helped it make number 67 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It didn't chart in Europe, although the video was shown there on a regular basis as well. That's how I noticed this song - and eventually got to buy it.

My collection: 7" single no. 1493
Found: Van der Horst, Den Haag, July 18, 1991
Cost: 2 guilders
Tracks: 'Give' / 'Clandestine people'
