10/10 LP. I like how the guitarist is more famous on Twitter/X than singer for being more social.

“In starlit nights, I saw you
So cruelly, you kissed me
Your lips, a magic world
Your sky, all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon”

ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN
Seven Seas
1984 Canada 12”

One final Sunday night spin before the cold dead hand of Monday morning chokes the will to live out of me.
I love this 12” mostly for everything EXCEPT Seven Seas; the other four tracks are live performances recorded at Liverpool Cathedral for a one-off British program called Play At Home, and they’re excellent (particularly The Killing Moon)!

Can't forget either, and opting for one of their later tracks as it's a personal fave of mine and reminds me of a girl I once knew.
