After steady sales and exposure from a compilation album entitled Pillows & Prayers, the single was re-issued in August 1983. Their debut album, Eden, was released in the UK in 1984. It reached number 14 on the UK Albums Chart, spending twenty weeks on the chart. It featured the single "Each and Every One", which reached number 28 on the UK top 40.

The US edition included two additional songs that were not on the original UK release: a cover version of the Pretenders' song "Kid" and "Heaven Help Me".
