For me:

• Release Love’s in another week to get them another #1.

• Skip the US and promote the album more in Europe/Australia/Asia.

• Release Summer of love in Europe/Australia and do some big promo.

What would you change?

I probably would have released Deeper Shade of Blue as the first single but otherwise they got it pretty spot on really.

I was actually thinking that might’ve been a good move. A much as I love Loves Got A Hold On My Heart.

That’s interesting! Maybe it could’ve alienated the fans?

I think in the UK it was spot on. On a global scale I see some missed opportunities if you ask me.

I do think a deeper shade of blue would have been a strong lead and also would have resulted in it been even a bigger hit than it was, and likewise if say youll be mine was the 2nd single it would have charted higher but adding better the devil you know was a good move to help sales at the time.

I always wanted movin on to be a single as i prefer it to both loves got a hold on my heart and after the love has gone but in all likelihood it wouldnt have done any better than those 2 did in the charts.

Overall they probably picked the right singles but maybe not in the right order.
