This and Althea are about the only two songs we ever hear from this record, but I can't say there's much else of any note on Go to Heaven that'd I'd really like to hear. Maybe Don't Ease Me In, but certainly not Lost Sailor/Saint of Circumcision or either of the Brent tunes.

Wow, Dave's hitting all my buttons, that's my favorite Pretenders, my favorite Police & my favorite Dire Straits songs all in a row.

Hallelujah, here she comes...

80 is way to early for Bruce Hornsby, although it sounds like his sort of chording. I dunno, Steve Winwood?

I actually think this is a pretty good album, and Lost/Saint is a classic, but not for the unitiated.  Alabama Getaway was almost a big hit, and almost brought in the huge number of fans that "Touch of Grey" eventually did.  Those fans were derogatorily referred to as "touchheads!"

Of course, without Google, Bittan, from the E Street Band.  Great sound on this track.
