There aren't that many Swiss bands that achieved international success, but Double managed it in 1985 with their single 'The captain of her heart'. It reached number 8 in the UK singles chart. Furthermore, it was a top 10 hit in the Dominican Republic, Italy, Canada, France, Norway and Germany. Interesting enough, it only reached number 11 in Switzerland.The band consisted of Kurt Maloo and Felix Haug. The sleeve of this single pictures four members, but I couldn't find information about the additional two...
My collection: 7" single no. 368
Found: Free Record Shop, Den Haag, 1985
Cost: 6 guilders
Tracks: 'The captain of her heart' / 'Your prayer takes me off part 2'
Yes I always thought there were 4 members, until I noticed the name of the band and looked again: the two guys are cloned.
