Cry / Paint


The first of our ‘fantasy’ singles, here with a double aa single that alas, never was, but we won’t cry over you…

“Why should I Cry over you?” … “Paint your love all over my world”…
Here we have our first imagined single release, a real “shoulda woulda coulda” moment. A Double-AA Side Single that alas, never was.
A perfect combo too, both featured on the ‘Look Sharp! Live’ VHS. We much prefer the ‘Cry’ Live from Borgholm version to Norrköping, but hey that’s just us.
Love the Pet Shop Boys influences on the original ‘Paint‘ demo too.

Missing from Streaming

Missing? Well, who knows apart from the obvious live cuts we’ve had on VHS, Laserdisc and DVD.
There were rumours of a ‘Paint‘ remix by Chris Lord-Alge, alas, we believe it to be just that, a rumour, but who knows?

* Most likely unofficial, but it’s a very good and convincing edit.
