passionspent

Passion Spent were formed in early 1983, performing initially as a covers band (Duran Duran, Gary Numan, Soft Cell, Human League, David Bowie, U2 etc.); but soon started writing their own material and including it in their set lists. Their first recordings were made at Steve Larkman's studio in Hedon (Nr. Hull), before they progressed to Ken Giles' studio in Bridlington, where they first met and worked with Colin Richardson. Most of their later recordings were made (under the guidance and supervision of Colin Richardson) at Russell Webster's Slaughterhouse Studios in Great Driffield.

Passion Spent released their first and only single - 45 rpm vinyl - 'Someone To Talk To' (b/w 'Wildlife') on their own Paragon record label in January 1987. The track was played on BBC Radio 1 once (and once only!); on the Simon Bates Show of Thursday 5th February 1987. Not even acheiving the status of 1 hit wonders - their young hearts skipped a beat to be simply one-play wonders.

But for a young northern band with no management, major label or plugger support, they think we did pretty well to get even that megre airplay.
