Naked Eyes (2025 Remaster) [2LP Blue] Vinyl

Naked Eyes is a British new wave band best known for their 1983 hit 'Always Something There to Remind Me'- a synth-pop cover of the Burt Bacharach and Hal David standard which became a top ten hit in the US.

Formed by Pete Byrne (vocals) and Rob Fisher (keyboards) in Bath, England, the duo gained success with their synth-driven sound and melodic hooks. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1983 and features the US Top 40 singles 'Promises, Promises', 'When The Lights Go Out', and 'Always Something There To Remind Me'.

Reissued on vinyl for the first time and newly remastered by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering. The set features a second LP with B-sides, remixes by the legendary producer Jellybean (including a version of 'Promises, Promises' with additional vocals by Madonna), and a demo of the previously unreleased song 'Waiting In The Wings'.

Pressed on two blue vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve with new notes by Pete Byrne. Despite Fisher's passing in 1999, Byrne has continued to perform under the Naked Eyes name and is touring the US throughout 2025. Also available on CD with additional previously unreleased demos and a 12-page booklet.
