Chart positions

OK...we know this band were not big sellers, but at least they did sell a few here & there. Anyone got info on how the band did in Germany etc?

From memory I recall the debut album stalling at #53 or thereabouts in the UK. "Cowboys & Indians" reached #75 in the gallup chart, "Shove It" reached #82 I believe and "Heaven [For Everyone]" reached #83. The single "Manipulator" never charted, even though I remember it being everywhere in HMV...£2.99 for the 12" [those were the days]. "Power To Love" from their second album reached a mere #95 or thereabouts, the album itself failed to enter the top 100. Which in turn ended their releases in the UK and to concentraite on the European marked via Electrola; Liar, Final Destination, New Dark Ages, Blue Rock and the sadly recalled 'Life Changes' [as Freddie had died/ was dying by then]

Formed mainly on the basis of a live band than a recording act, I'm sure their live tours were a hit in many towns and cities across Europe. Anyone got any pics, stories to tell?

I saw them twice; Newcastle '88 [I'm even heard on the bootleg!] and London 1990 [the fan club xmas party with Brian].

Wow, thanks for all that info, have to admit that I know nothing really about their chart positions!

Hey that's great that you got to see them live! Sadly I was not even born until 1990 so I have no stories to tell or pics to post. Feel free to post any of yours though.

MORE than free! ;D I'd really like to hear about them, also because there are no good quality live bootlegs to listen to/watch (or I couldn't find any ).

There's plenty of decent quality live stuff out there, Frankfurt 1990 being one of the best IMO.
