Out on the Rebound From Love, single
release date: 1985
format: digital
[single rate: 3,5 / 5]

Tracklis: A) 1. "Out on the Rebound From Love" (4 / 5) (live performance at the Danish Live Aid project Music for Africa, 1985) - - B) 1. "Paris, Mexico" (2,5 / 5)

Single release by Gangway originally a 7'' vinyl disc released on Irmgardz and reissued on the compilation album Re-Master Piecies (2002). The A-side was never included on any studio albums, which is really a shame. I recall their fine live version at Danish Live Aid project Music for Africa in 1985 after the international Live Aid show. The live performance has such a strong dynamic sound thanks to Balling's guitar playing. It's quite obvious that The Smiths was an inspiration for the A-side composition, Allan Jensen's phrasing as well as some of the lyrics resemble words by Morrissey, but still, it's an original and very strong song.
