Trick of the Light is the second album by English band Modern Romance. It was released in 1983 on LP and Cassette tape by WEA. A Japanese reissue on CD was released, but is long out of print. [3] There was a European re-release in 2018 as a 24 bit remastered, expanded edition with 4 extra tracks.
The album is featured in the Taschen book 1000 Covers, which showcases the most interesting vinyl covers from the 1960s to the 1990s (their single, " Don't Stop That Crazy Rhythm", shares a similar sleeve). It is the first Modern Romance album to feature lead vocalist Michael J. Mullins, who replaced Geoff Deane in 1982. The [New Version] of " Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" (1983) features the voice of Mullins, whereas Deane provided vocals on the 7-inch vinyl (1982) version. "Cherry Pink ..." is known for the trumpet solo by band member and composer / conductor, John Du Prez. The track, "Good Feelings"', was released at Christmas (1983) as a double A-Side [remixed] along with "Good Friday", the latter being taken from the hit compilation Christmas album, Party Tonight; both single and album featured identical covers. Trick of the Light contains no less than six hit singles, five of them top-twenty, three of these top-ten, making 1983 in music Modern Romance's watershed year. Two of the album tracks – " Best Years of Our Lives" and " High Life" – featured as part of the band's farewell single, "Best Mix of Our Lives", which charted at #81 in 1985. [5] [6] [7] [8]
