Eurythmics is a British synthpop duo consisting of Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart. They first recorded together as members of the new wave band The Catch, before changing their name to Eurythmics in 1981. Their breakthrough came with the release of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" in 1983, propelling them to become one of the leading synth groups throughout the eighties.
After pursuing solo activities in the early and mid-90s, Eurythmics reunited for an album and charity world tour in 1999. In 2004, they released extended, remastered editions of their previous albums and a second hits compilation. They also released one song under the alias "The Spheres Of Celestial Influence".
Eurythmics' discography includes notable albums such as "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)", "Touch", and "Be Yourself Tonight". With their unique blend of synthesizers and powerful vocals from Annie Lennox, Eurythmics has left an indelible mark on the music industry.

RCA is a multinational record label that has been used worldwide and is currently owned by Sony Music Entertainment. The name RCA originally referred to the Radio Corporation of America, a US electronic and communications company formed in 1919. In 1929, RCA acquired the Victor Talking Machine Co., which had released records on the Victor and Victrola labels. The record division became known as RCA Victor until late 1968 when it became RCA Records.

In 1985, RCA Records became part of RCA/Ariola International. At the end of that year, General Electric purchased the RCA Corporation. In 1986, GE sold the remainder of RCA Records to Bertelsmann (Ariola's owner) and formed the Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG). Since then, RCA Records has switched owners twice and is currently owned by Sony Music Entertainment.

On September 26, 2011, Sony Music Entertainment reorganized the RCA Records group into its own label banner. This merger brought artists from Jive, Arista, LaFace, and J Records under the umbrella of RCA. Additionally, reissues from these imprints will be handled by RCA as well.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) is the second studio album by the Eurythmics, originally released by RCA Records on 4 January 1983. The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. With this album, Eurythmics transformed their sound and pushed themselves to their artistic and creative limit and came up golden.

The synthesizers were brought to the forefront along with Annie Lennox's confident vocals. In turn, she became a bona fide star and Eurythmics became not only a household name, but the most definitive synth pop band. Each side starts with a classic single that became ubiquitous on radio - Love Is a Stranger and the title track. Infinitely catchy and appealing, those two songs broke Eurythmics to the world scene.
