"Here To Stay" is excellent but why not have it on the album? There was plenty of room. More marketing!!!

The last single, "Illusions" was a non album track as well as the flip to the 7" release of "Come Around And Love Me" i.e. "What Is Left To Do" .. so perhaps held a few tracks back to help vinyl sales? Personally think 10-12 tracks is sufficient on an album, more than that and they become 'padding'.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right but in the case of the album "Come Around And Love Me" which has 11 non-long tracks, "Here To Stay" had its place, even on the vinyl LP.
