Blancmange - Believe you me (remaster)
------------------------------------------------

Having reached the giddy heights of #8 with their 1984 album Mange Tout, along with a succession of Top 40 entries that saw them become shoe-in chart regulars with every release, by the start of 1986 they'd have split amid commercial failure of quite dramatic proportions with this October 1985 long-player.
