]]> Eurythmics “Love Is a Stranger” 1982. 12″ single. “Love Is a Stranger” was the third single from the band’s January 1983 album Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) and it’s one of my all-time favorites from the synthpop/new wave duo. First released as a single in November ‘82, it did relatively poorly (it was their 5th single to date, hitting #54 in the UK). However, after the next single, the title track “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” hit #2 in the UK and #1 in the US (it was their first single released in America), they re-released “Love Is a Stranger” and it, too, became a hit going to #6 in the UK and to #23 in the US (#7 on the US Dance chart). The B-side of the 12″ has two tracks, “Let’s Just Close Our Eyes” which is hypnotic and super-danceable and “Monkey Monkey,” also hypnotic but more mostly just an instrumental track: experimental with lots of techno weirdness.

]]> Eurythmics “Touch” released either on tomorrow’s date, November 26th, 1983 or November 14th, 1983 (conflicting internet info!). Because I will be stuffing my face with cranberry sauce and pie tomorrow at Thanksgiving dinner and not blogging, I’m featuring this Eurythmics album today.

Touch was the first album to be released in the US simultaneously on vinyl and CD; it went to #1 in the UK and #7 in the US. “Here Comes the Rain Again” is my favorite track. It hit #4 on the US Billboard chart after its January ‘84 single release. I have fond and somewhat bleary memories of waking up at midnight to watch Friday Night Videos on network TV in the hopes of seeing a Duran Duran video. The video for “Here Comes the Rain Again” would inevitably play while I shivered in the dark – the video’s cold, stark images a perfect complement to my circumstance.
