“Thompson Twins didn’t make TF’s Top 10.” “I know. Shameful…”

‘IF YOU LEAVE’, ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK PRETTY IN PINK (1986) OMD purists may sniff, but to hell with haughty. Recorded last-minute to replace ‘Goddess Of Love’, Pretty’s prom theme crystallises the film’s heartmelting late-teens feels. Don’t let go at any price.
