 The closest thing to perfect...but a few flaws February 29, 2008

Yes, we AFOS fans are rejoicing to have the third LP by the band FINALLY released on CD. And while the other releases failed to include some crucial 12" versions and b-sides, this one barely makes a mistake. It's worth it just to have the b-side "Living in Heaven," which is strong enough to have been an LP track. The 12" version of "Never Again (The Dancer)" is great to have here, but it's always been an oddity to me, since it is only about 10 seconds longer than the LP version and is actually more like a dub. The Full Moon Mix of "The More You Live" is similarly more of a dub and really nothing like the original song.
The HUGE problem comes with the supposed 7" mix of The More You Live The More You Love. I've always preferred the 7" mix, and unfortunately, here, they've included the LP version TWICE instead of actually including the 7" mix as listed! (Thanks Ziad for pointing that out). To get the Chris Porter 7" mix, you'll have to buy the "Best of" CD released YEARS ago, which doesn't even MENTION that it is the 7" mix. Another possible similar problem is, I'm also trying to figure out how the supposed 7" version of "remember david" is any different than the LP version. They are the same exact length, and as far as I can tell, the mixes don't sound any different at all. I will have to give them a closer listen, but I'm wondering if maybe the original 7" was just an EDIT of the LP version, and they accidentally included the LP version twice? And finally, Lost Control (totally) is the 4 minute version used as a 7" b-side instead of the extended version used on the 12" single. Bummer.
One last thing to note, the liner notes state that all tracks are produced by Steve Lovell except tracks 13 and 15, which claim to be produced by Mike Howlett (who worked on the first two albums). However, track 13, the 7" of Never Again, is just an edit of the LP version, and as far as I know, track 15, "Living in Heaven", was not produced by Mike Howlett, so I think the information is incorrect. I can not find any info on the internet to prove that either of these tracks was produced by Howlett.
 Well, it's about time! February 22, 2008

Granted, it's only on import and it's kind of expensive, but at least this album is finally available. Originally issued in 1984, and loosely conceptual in its focus on matters of young love and identity, "Young Heart" was AFOS' most accomplished, well-produced, and stylistically cohesive effort. It didn't score the big hits that their self-entitled debut did ("I Ran" and "Space Age Love Song"), but it was a more fully developed direct descendent of that sound. A masterpiece of mid '80's New Wave, its unfortunate lack of success led guitarist Paul Reynolds to leave the band, and AFOS was never the same. They may seem like a two-hit wonder to a lot of folks, but this album suggests that this band had far more potential than was ever realized. The added remixes are a matter of taste, but they're delightfully typical of the time.

Buy this and all of your imports on amazon.co.uk! I only paid $19.00 with shipping included for this CD. The shipping time is about the same as well. I don't know why it's that way but it just is. Take advantage of it.
This album was released over 20 years ago and it was far from a hit. I won't bore you with my opinion of it. If you are interested in it you've heard it so you already have your own opinion.

This album derserves more credit than what in recieved back in 1984. Its really nice to see this album re-released in 2008, (sooner would have been better though). The bonus tracks on the album are real treat, especially "Living Heaven" which is a real rarity. Listening to the album you can tell alot of effort went into each of the songs. You won't find any filler anywhere on album. The CD is a good listen beginning to end. "Heart of Steel", and "The End" are true gems! Owning this album along with 'Listen' and their debut album completes your commitment to this band. Avoid 'Dream Come True'.
