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.


Condition:

  • Sleeve (EX): The picture sleeve remains structurally sound with vibrant colors; may show very minor creasing at the corners or light shelf-rubbing, but no seam splits or significant damage.

  • Media (VG+): The vinyl has been well-maintained. It may show faint surface scuffs or spindle marks from light play, but these do not affect the high-fidelity audio.


Format: 12" Vinyl Single, 45 RPM.

Publication: Kitchenware Records / London Records.

Issue Date: 1984.
