Alternative releases

[West Mids Boy]

Whilst listening to my further listening the other day I started thinking - which tracks would I have released off albums If I were Neil and Chris and in which order

Please:

West End Girls
Tonight is Forever
Opportunities
Suburbia

Actually:

Would keep as they were - with perhaps Kings Cross thrown in at some point to milk the success!

Introspective:

Maybe wait a bit longer before releasing it and then release as a 'normal' 10 track album

What do other people think?

[Moira Stewart]

Somehow I can't see `In Denial' and `Try It (I'm In Love With A Married Man)' being spectacular single successes for one reason or another

[Hillbilly]

At first I didn't understand what was your intention, but sure you mean which singles would you release from each album? So for Release you mean that if "Positive role model" was on it, it should be the first single?

[Hillbilly]

Somehow I can't see `In Denial' and `Try It (I'm In Love With A Married Man)' being spectacular single successes for one reason or another

I agree! On the other hand "Was it worth it?" and "Can you forgive her?" were singles, but of course they were not as open with the "gay thing" as those later songs... And what about "The night I fell in love"?

Although I'd say that if those songs became successful singles - then it certainly would have been spectacular, my dear!
