Originally released in May 1982, ‘Pinky Blue’ came hot on the heels of the ‘Happy Birthday’ album. Barely six months had passed since its release in September 1981 but ‘Pinky Blue’ saw Martin Rushent at the helm as pro- ducer for the whole project after his success on the ‘Happy Birthday’ single.
After a very successful headline tour the band ended 1981 with numerous awards; N.M.E’s ‘Best New Group’ and Smash Hits ‘Most Promising Act’. The bands musical style had moved on from their post punk roots to more straight forward pop. But this never phased their stal- wart supporter John Peel who continued to champion the band.
The inclusion of Neil Diamonds ‘Song Sung Blue’ raised a few eye- brows, but i think people missed its intended tongue-in-cheek
.Clare Grogan has appeared in numerous TV and films roles, most famously ‘Gergory’s Girl and the cult TV Series ‘Red Dwarf’ in a role she created for herself as Kristine Kochanski.
