'Sail Away' was the 3rd Top 20 hit for the group which is the brainchild of producer Rohan Heath... It followed the Top 5 smashes 'The Key: The Secret' and 'Feels Like Heaven'.The aforementioned 'The Key: The Secret' is of course their most famous track: it charted three times, and first time out was only kept off the top by a posthumous Freddie Mercury single. It somehow eluded the Now series, but we're compensated by this single which sounds a little too close for comfort. Perhaps they were trying a little too hard to milk the formula but all I hear is a record that reminds me of another song that I don't feel particular nostalgia for anyway. Probably one where you had to be there.
In other news, I notice Diane Charlemagne gets a credit for vocals, buried with the writing credits at the back of the booklet. As was the way then, the production credits are on the disc label itself.
