Named after the film Citizen Kane, this trio from North East England became a cornerstone of the "Sophisti-pop" movement. "Closest Thing To Heaven" was their breakout 1984 hit, reaching No. 12 in the UK.
Additional Features: The 12" format is a "Special Edition" featuring the Full Version (5:02), which provides a more expansive, atmospheric intro than the 7" radio edit. The B-side includes the rare "3D Mad Mix" of "Bride of Smalltown Mudwrestles with Abbott & Costello in Outer Space," a quirky, experimental track that showcases the band's artistic range.
