Love lies lost - Helen Terry

I bought a copy of Helen Terry's 'Love lies lost' 13 years ago and I wrote about it on this blog. (I can't believe it's been around for that long, actually!) The single was a minor hit in the UK but it was also Helen's only hit. 

Then last weekend I suddenly found a copy of the single's picture disc. It's always hard to resist a beautiful picture disc and especially when it's only 1 euro. And so of course I snapped it up. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last Helen Terry release I'll ever buy.

Love lies lost - Helen Terry

Helen Terry was born on May 25, 1956. She is best known for her work as a backing vocalist with Culture Club and the Pet Shop Boys, but she also had a solo single hit with 'Love lies lost' in 1984. It reached number 34 in the UK singles chart.

After this, she pursued a career in film and television production, most prominently behind the scenes as a producer and executive producer for the TV broadcast of the BRIT Awards since 2001.
