Blue (Double album)
1985 studio album by Double
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blue is the debut studio album by Swiss musical duo Double, released on 15 October 1985 by Metronome. In addition to updated versions of two of the band's earlier singles ("Woman of the World" and "Rangoon Moon"), the album includes the ballad "The Captain of Her Heart", which was an immediate success throughout Europe (and eventually, the United States) upon its 1986 single release. Follow-up singles "Your Prayer Takes Me Off" and "Tomorrow" were less successful.
