| Well, I've listened to my copy of this. - Spoiler:
It's okay. It didn't excite me, though some bits were good enough. It reminded me of both the Human League and ABC at times but without the charm of the former and the sparkle and humour of the latter. Their Tina Turner production the following year is far better. It doesn't help that my copy appears to be just about the quietest CD I own; it must be an early pressing - which is a good thing in that regard. And I prefer the 1992 Brothers in Rhythm remix of Temptation which gave it a much needed lift. ![blah blah](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/1244339529.gif) 3/5

The production is very anaemic.
