September 30, 200915 yr The Outfield "Your love" - #6 in the USA, a worldwide hit and a 80's classic...but only made it to #83 in the UK Probably because the Americans hadn't yet got over the break-up of the Police! That summer, 1986, was chock-full of songs that were heard a lot on the radio, but didn't become big hits. Two examples, 'Right Between The Eyes' by Wax and Bangles 'Going Down To Liverpool', numbers 60 and 56 respectively, but never off the radio that summer.

October 3, 200915 yr Yep! And Going Down to Liverpool was the b-side of Walking on Sunshine (I think!!!).Indeed it was! http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=408883 It was a re-recording, Katrina & The Waves having originally recorded the song in 1983 then re-recorded it for their 1985 album. The Bangles version apparently originates from 1984. http://blogcritics.org/music/article/singl...n-to-liverpool/
