Fade to grey - Neon

Visage's 'Fade to grey' is arguably one of the best tracks of the early Eighties, and it's inspired many others to record the track. I bought a version by Phase One ten years ago, and now it's time for another cover version, this time by Neon. 

Neon was one of many Belgian New Beat projects started by Target Records in the late 1980s. Members of Neon were Frank Van Der Heyden, Friedhelm Nieske, J.P. Bulté, Luc Devriese and Peter Peyskens. It's interesting that the back cover credits a certain Rita for catering-assistance; that's not a credit you see very often on record sleeves. Fortunately this is quite a good cover version, well worth a listen.

My collection: 7" single no. 7354
Found: Record fair, Rotterdam, 5 October 2024
Tracks: 'Fade to grey' / 'Fade to grey (instrumental remix)'
