Background

Go West had been writing songs for the album since 1982, when they were formed in London by Peter Cox and Richard Drummie. Two songs featured on the album, "We Close Our Eyes" and "Call Me", helped Go West land a record deal with Chrysalis Records.
The album features more Top 40 UK/New Zealand hits than any of Go West's other albums and helped them to be voted Best Newcomers at the 1986 Brit Awards.
The song "Goodbye Girl" was featured in the first episode of the second season of the 1980s TV series Miami Vice.
