Only one great album from 1990 and then nothing.And what a great album it was too.It included their one hit "There She Goes" Did they ever even do a second album is what I would like to know? If they did not too many pressings must have been made,because I never even saw it.It was bad enough when I couldn't find their first album on CD until years later.
