Burning The Ground Exclusive 1983
“Love Cares” was the fourth overall and second single on Virgin Records by Scottish pop band Endgames. The song was taken from their debut LP “Building Beauty” (1983).
“Love Cares” charted on Billboard, reaching #47 on the Disco/Dance Chart, but MCA Records in the U.S. didn’t promote the band enough so the actual sales weren’t strong with the parent album failing to chart. Meanwhile, Endgames toured as a support act for Howard Jones during his sold-out first tour of the UK in March–April 1984. Shortly thereafter Virgin Records ended their contract and Endgames disbanded.
