The back cover is rather quirky. They look like they just came back from an aerobic session in the the gym. But it has a Cement Mix. Did they use cement in the gym? Was it a tough session? What a strange picture! 😛
I knew them at early 2005 and some years later i get an sony/BMG “essential” compilation. Thanks for share.
Can’t seem to download this at the moment
Their only US hit that got brief airplay in L.A. back in 1984 was the Billboard Hot 100 #65 single “Heaven (Must Be There)”. CBS/UK released a 12” ‘Here And Now’ remix by Jon Mathias; the Australian 12” was b/w a John Bee remix of “No Action”; and Canada released a promo of the remix/single version on 12”. Perhaps someone has a copy with which Paul can do his magic.
Although I’ve heard the name Eurogliders before in the past, I really can’t think of any of their songs. I am looking forward to checking this one out. As with so many of your obscure posts, they have turned into new favorites of mine. Thank you, Paul, again for the exposure of “new” music. You are so awesome!!

You’re welcome, Jeff. From what I gather they were pretty popular in Australia with several hit singles there. Enjoy 🙂
