weeks on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at Number 91, but was a top twenty hit in Germany and Sweden, and sold well throughout Europe. The album sold more than 300,000 copies and was dubbed "One of the most exquisite electro-pop albums ever to come out of England" by the New York Daily News. After a European tour in February and March 1986, Latin Quarter played at Glastonbury Festival 21 June 1986. In February 1987 they played at the 'Rock for Peace Festival' in East Berlin at the Palace of the Republic, and in August 1987 at the Hultsfred Festival in Sweden.
