Title: A Eurythmics Tragedy
Review: Historically, this was a low point for the band. They made a soundtrack for "1984" that the director hated and I think critics derided too. I remember seeing a photo of Dave and Annie crying upon the album's release. Whereas "Sex Crime" did well in Europe, but not in the US, where the title raised concerns, "Julia" was one of the band's worst-performing singles. If you hear this record, it may seem like an extended mix, but it is just the version that is on the soundtrack. They may have add about a minute to the song "Ministry of Love," however. There is an American, independent film about a teen's coming-out that shows this record in the background because the main character is a Eurythmics fan. Remember that the single had a slow, boring video for it too? The cover actually shows a female character from "1984' after an "adult" scene. I owned this record back in the day, but only those who worship the Eurythmics would need it now.
Is the review positive or negative?
