‘Til Tuesday – Love In A Vacuum (US 12″ Promo)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1985

“Love in a Vacuum” is a song by American band, which was released in 1985 as the third and final single from their debut studio album Voices Carry. The song was written by Aimee Mann, Michael Hausman, Robert Holmes and Joey Pesce, and produced by Mike Thorne. “Love in a Vacuum” peaked at No. 88 on the US Cash Box Top 100 Pop Singles chart.

‘Til Tuesday first recorded “Love in a Vacuum” in 1983, before they had signed a record deal and shortly after winning the WBCN Rock ‘n’ Roll Rumble in Boston. The band sent producer and engineer Ian Taylor a demo tape in the hope he would be interested in recording a demo with the band and generate awareness of them through his connections in the music industry. Taylor produced the “Love in a Vacuum” demo which was independently released in 1983 and gained heavy rotation on Boston’s WBCN-FM.

The band’s victory in the Rock and Roll Rumble, along with the subsequent publicity and local airplay of “Love in a Vacuum”, helped gain the attention of Epic Records, who signed the band in 1984. The band’s debut album, Voices Carry, was recorded with producer Mike Thorne and included a new recording of “Love in a Vacuum”. As the album’s third and final single, “Love in a Vacuum” failed to enter the US Billboard Hot 100, but did reach No. 88 on the Cash Box Top 100 Pop Singles chart. Guitarist Robert Holmes told Rolling Stone in 1986, “‘Voices Carry’ didn’t sound like an obvious hit to me. If anything, I thought ‘Love in a Vacuum’ sounded like a big hit. And that totally died.”
