Another trick the music industry did to cash in was with greatest hits CD's is not all the best hits are included on purpose so your forced to buy the albums just to get one song. But now years later thanks to The Internet and file sharing, you can now cherry pick what every you want.9 years ago

Yes, I recall the original version of this track is the best and it and got the all air play on radio, but some years later when I went to buy the CD greatest hits a different later revised version was on there and Its not as good, band "the police" also did the same thing with the song "don't stand so close to me" the original was excellent the modern version was crap. It must have been done deliberately so you have to buy the original album just to get that proper radio version of the song.9 years ago

Forgot how depressing this video was. On the one hand, I miss music like this, but on the other hand, I don't mind missing it that much. Just like real life downers.10 years ago

There was an extended version of this song, with a quirky but really fascinating video clip, here, on YouTube, that sadly was removed by the uploader just recently....Has anyone else seen it, or know anything about it?11 years ago

The funny part was after listening to the tape for about an hour, it suddenly occurred to me that the singer sounded like Iva Davies (yeah, that's because it IS Iva, but at that moment in time I didn't know for sure). I was suddenly like, "Hey I think I know who this is". And I was right! :)11 years ago

About a year ago, I was hanging out with a friend who was telling me that she had this tape which had a bunch of songs on it that she couldn't identify. So she puts the tape on, and I'm thinking it's very 80's sounding, but I couldn't figure out who it was. We were able to surmise that the songs were all by the same band, but neither of us recognized any of the songs. I had to remember the refrain "Don't say it's over, don't look away" until I got home and could google the lyrics! Crazy, huh?12 years ago

I much prefer this version of the song for some reason. The lyric is presented edgier and with more feeling than the "single" version. Maybe the whole "death" feel has a symbolism to changes that Iva was going through at the time?? I remember an alternate video for "Don't Believe Anymore" where he sheds from a cocoon. Quite graphic? Not really! Artistic? YES!! :)13 years ago

I find this pretty disturbing, but not in a negative way. I had the cassette of this album back in the 80s and played it until it broke. Thanks for the upload.Related Videos
