Very sad news over the weekend to hear of Andrew Gold and Martin Rushent.
I can vividly remember being in a hotel disco in Norwich in 1987 drinking my "first" lagers as a 17 year old and first hearing Wax "Building A Bridge To Your Heart" booming from the speakers ; it was terrific, I didn't even know who Andrew Gold was until much later... and then you discover he wrote the classic, timeless "Lonely Boy" and "Never Let Her Slip Away" which nail me every time I hear them. Understated. God bless Andrew Gold.
and then Martin Rushent who produced the first 3 Stranglers albums - nuff' said - the guy was a genius. a sad weekend indeed.
