I don't know if Valentine's day qualifies as a red letter day, but it's Sunday today, so what the heck. Here's a special song for the occasion: China Crisis's 'Red letter day'. It was released as the second single from their 1989 album 'Diary of a hollow horse'. A special treat on this single is the acoustic version of the title track of that album, as it's been so beautifully done. I actually like the acoustic version better than the original version.The single was not a hit in the UK, despite its special packaging: the single was housed in a special outer sleeve: a red envelope.
My collection: 7" single no. 995
Found: HMV, London, October 16, 1989
Cost: 2 pounds
Tracks: 'Red letter day' / 'Diary of a hollow horse (acoustic)'
Cool somebody else who loves China Crisis, 2 singles you might have missed by them are No More Blue Horizons (Fool Fool) from 1982 and The Highest High the fourth single off the 1985 album Flaunt The Imperfection.
