Heres To Future Days (Uk)

Limited double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Here's To Future Days is the fifth album by the Thompson Twins and after the runaway success of Into The Gap initial recording started with Alex Sadkin who'd streered the band to commercial success with their previous two outings, Quick Step & Side Kick and Into The Gap. This two disc edition features a bonus disc of remixes and extended versions that originally appeared on the UK cassette version of the album. The first single from the album 'Lay Your Hands On Me' was another big hit however the band decided to part ways with producer Alex Sadkin and produced the album themselves. Tom Bailey was then diagnosed with nervous exhaustion and the whole project was put on hold on the eve of the release of the next single 'Roll Over'. After a long period of rest the band began to revisit the project and decided to enlist the help of Chic co-founder producer Nile Rodgers. With Rodgers now producer the material took a more guitar orientated direction and Rodgers also added gospel vocals to the album version of the first single 'Lay Your Hands On Me'. The US remix of the single retained the original elements of the Alex Sadkin mix.
