| Night After Night | |
Allan McCusker Thompson´s The Painted Word released their first single the fantastic International Day in 1986 and then another two excellent singles Worldwide and That’s The Reason I´m Alive in 1989, non charted.
That year they also released their debut album Lovelife which is a great Scottish indie/pop album.
It wasn´t until 1995 that they released their last album the gorgeous Universal but well worth the wait as it is an album of mature textured songs in a similar vein to The Blue Nile.
The album features many memorable tunes including I dream, Life the title track Universal and The Blues In Your Eyes which is just exceptional. This is an album you will want to treasure, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Thought you might like to see this
Great to see this video thankyou for the link
Nice to see this here, always thought they were vastly under-rated.
BTW it’s Allan McCusker-Thompson, not Andy.
Thanks for the comment, Andy is now Allan, cheers lol
Many thanks for The Painted Word!!
Sadly, Universal misses the title track, in fact the track Night After Night is repeated twice as track 3 (named Universal, but it isn’t), and, correctly, as track 6.
Can you please upload the track Universal?
Cheers, Peter
As soon as I find my CD I´ll post it had a quick look but nowhere to be found, Mikey
Many thanks for replying Mikey, i hope you will eventually find the song somewhere.
Cheers, Peter
Hi Peter, I found the cd and have posted the missing track on the Painted Word post, enjoy Mikey
Hey, Mickey! Here are my ‘incremented’ requests for today: I’m really trying to hold myself back (I have a list of 11 bands that are really eluding me), so I’m hoping 2 requests every couple of days or so isn’t too much…anyhow, here goes:
1) The Comateens – ‘Pictures On A String’ – all I have is my favorite track, ‘Cold Eyes.’ A full-length would be superb.
2) Big Big Sun – ‘Stop The World’ – what an almost credible imitation of Sting..! Love the album, nonetheless.
Thanks!
Beautiful.Thanks.
Any possibility for ”Letter from Jckie” too?
Best regards.
Sorry I don´t have this track
