This Wreckless Eric song from 1977 is a life affirming blast, belted out on guitar, about how there's someone for everyone, wherever they may be, and how far he'd go to find her.
I knew the artist was familiar to me SA. It's Herve Morvan who is most famous for his Gitanes ads and interestingly the original artwork which Peter (never passed the chance to nick a good piece of artwork) Saville's appropriated for the original cover for Ultravox's Rage In Eden. Morvan's estate was not pleased and I believe settled with the label and a second cover was used for the world excluding the USA where the issue seemed to have been ignored by Chrysalis USA.
Life-affirming. Yes. That's exactly what it is.
ReplyDeleteGlad I whetted your appetite SA!
