Nothing to lose - UK

UK released two singles from their 1979 album 'Danger Money': 'Rendezvous 6:02' and 'Nothing to lose'. Funnily enough, 'Rendezvous' was a only a hit in the Netherlands, whereas 'Nothing to lose' could only reach the UK singles chart. It peaked at number 67 in the Summer of 1979. A live album, 'Night after night', was recorded in Japan in 1979 and released in September. Following a final European tour in December 1979, and in spite of plans to record a new studio album in America in March 1980, UK disbanded.

I bought my copy of 'Nothing to lose' without actually knowing the song. I always liked 'Rendezvous 602' a lot, and so I presumed this single would be similar. It is a very different song, though, but in its own way it is a nice track.
