Description


This is the first time all the singles and key album tracks have been gathered together as one collection and is presented here in a 4-panel digipak. Having left the Fun Boy Three at the end of their 1983 US tour, Terry went straight into forming his next group, The Colourfield. Teaming up with ex-2 Tone label mates, Toby Lyons and Karl Shale (The Swinging Cats), they launched their single on legendary UK TV music show The Tube, with their debut single The Colour Field in January 1984 and followed up later in ’84 with their second single Take, Their debut album followed in early 1985, which contained the hit single Thinking of You, as well as subsequent single Castles In The Air. Later in the year they released a couple of non-album singles I Can’t Get Enough of You Baby and Things could be Beautiful (produced by longtime friend and producer Ian Broudie). By the time of their follow album, Deception in 1987 saw them drop to a duo. Launching with a cover of the Sly and The Stone classic Running Away and produced by Richard Gottehrer (Blondie, Go Go’s, Scritti Politti), the album fair less well and the final single, a cover of the Bobby Hart / Tommy Boyce track She, made famous by the Monkees.
