Del Amitri – Waking Hours – Blue Color Vinyl Record

Description

Originally released on A&M Records in July 1989, reaching No 6 in the UK charts and spawning four Top 60 singles, ‘Waking Hours’ was Del Amitri’s commercial breakthrough. After beginning in the mid ’80s as a leftfield indie-jangle band, Del Amitri were now developing into a west-coast influenced classic pop act. In ‘Waking Hours’, opening track and first single ‘Kiss This Thing Goodbye’ sets the scene perfectly, a record that sounded like it should be played loud on a sunlit freeway, but it was the album’s third single, the affecting ballad ‘Nothing Ever Happens’, released as single at the start of 1990, that established the group in the UK while making significant inroads in the US.
