I don't know for sure, but this might well be the longest single ever released. Chris Rea's 'Nothing to fear' clocks in at 9 minutes and 10 seconds: truly an epic song. It's this length that piqued my interest when I came across this single during a week in London in 1992. I listened to it on a listening post, and decided I liked it enough to buy it.I'm glad I did: it's probably the best song of Chris Rea's career. Taken from his 1992 album 'God's great banana skin', it reached number 16 in the UK singles chart.
My collection: 7" single no. 1737
Found: Virgin Megastore, October 17, 1992
Cost: 2 pounds
Tracks: 'Nothing to fear' / 'Nothing to fear (edit)', 'Strange dance'
