Nothing Compares


The Family - The Family Album

This album kicks off with its two bangers segued together. Now segueing tracks is not something I normally approve of, but it really works here, for some reason. Either of these two tunes transport me instantly back to The Royal Oak in Tooley St (RIP) in 1985. Without wishing to lapse into hyperbole, they are better than the entirety of Prince's 1980s output.

Also of note is the rather dreary Nothing Compares 2U, which developed a life of its own a few years later. Whodathunkit?
