Burning Bridges

Re-issue of synth-pop pioneers Naked Eyes’ 1983 debut album ‘Burning Bridges’ plus bonus tracks.

‘Burning Bridges’ featured singles that charted both sides of the Atlantic. Their cover of the Bacharach & David’s classic ‘Always Something There To Remind Me’ peaked at #8 and its follow up ‘Promises Promises’ reached 11 – both in the U.S. Hot 100 chart.
This special edition contains 12 tracks from the original album plus six essential bonus tracks. The bonus material features two 12″ versions of ‘Promises Promises’ including Jellybean’s extended version featuring his then unknown girlfriend Madonna on backing vocals. Tony Mansfield’s American Remix of ‘Always Something There To Remind Me’, the US 7″ remix of ‘Promises Promises’ and two b-sides, ‘Pit Stop’ and ‘Sweet Poison’.
This release has been made with the full co-operation of Pete Byrne – the surviving member of the band. Rob Fisher passed away in 1999.
The sleeve notes have been written by Michael Silvester who talked at length with Pete Byrne about the Naked Eyes’ story.
The CD booklet will feature many of the original sleeves and a full UK discography.
