The album that introduced me to The Church. I was looking in the "C" section of Rock music at Hastings Records when I see this LP, I never heard of The Church, but the four band members just looked so cool on the back of the album - and on "a hunch" that it will probably sound good- i bought it , that same night I fell in love with The Church. They instantly became my 2nd favorite band (U2 is first) this was 1985. Even today 2024 they are still my "top 2" bands
Itd be nice if Steve had a sidekick who played a variety of "light" instruments like recorder, mouth organ, violin?, accordian or whatever to play the lead breaks & licks. Anyhow, its good to hear about The Church's life. I played a few support gigs with them back in the 90's. It was amazing how the crowd numbers had dropped off after there initial success after Starfish & Metropolis. I first saw them in Melbourne around 1990 at the metro. It was packed. I saw them a few years later in Brisbane under the Myer centre, The underground? It was packed too. Just 2-3 years later I supported them at The Roxy. I recall Steve saying "where is everybody ". It seems thats how Australia 🇦🇺 is with some of its better bands. Go-betweens too. My band was no different, especially in Brisbane. Brisbane was a heavy rock town. Custard also struggled initially in Brisbane despite all their great music. It just wasnt an arty town & unfortunately probably killed more bands then it produced. Ty Mr. Kilbey.

' Seance ' Best Church album .
I agree, but they are all great...Heyday, Seance, Blurred Crusade, Starfish, Gold Afternoon Fix, Aura:Priest, I love them all!
@@disseminationnetwork That's true .
Time to give it away Steve.
Why should he?
Age?
What's that got to do with ANYTHING? You either play music or you don't.
He does play guitar like a bass player though but who cares. I don't, just thought Id make a smart arse comment.
