This was the debut album for this Australian singer/songwriter and at the time was regarded as one of the best debuts ever released in this country and Gillespie as one of our best ever songwriters.

Australian singer/songwriter Mark Gillespie released several sweetly crafted pop albums in the early 1980s then basically quit the music business, turning up several years later working at a Bangladesh orphanage. Most all of his songs range from beautiful, some a little limited by the era’s production levels, and some almost prophetic.
This album, released in 1981, is the follow-up to his magnificent debut 'Only Human' - it is another peerless collection that would also become his first national charting album and it works well as a companion piece to his first album.
This 2011 reissue has been remastered by Gil Matthews and two non-LP single B-sides are included as bonus tracks.
