Thompson Twins – Into The Gap LP Coloured Vinyl

Thompson Twins – Into The Gap

"Into The Gap" by the Thompson Twins is an era-defining album of the 80s. This 40th anniversary reissue is the most comprehensive reissue of this album ever, remastered at Abbey Road Studios and compiled with the full blessing of all three band members from the classic line-up.

"Into the Gap" is considered one of the band's most successful albums and symbolizes the height of the synth-pop era. The album contains hit singles such as "Hold Me Now", "Doctor! Doctor!" and "You Take Me Up", which highlighted the band's talent for catchy, synth-driven pop songs. At the time, the Thompson Twins were a driving force in the new wave movement; "Into the Gap" reached number one in the UK album charts and sold over 1 million copies in the US. The album's success was aided by the rise of MTV, where the band's visually stunning music videos played a crucial role in their global appeal. "Into the Gap" embodied the spirit of 1980s pop culture and combined innovative sound with a strong visual identity, making it a defining record of the decade.

The vinyl features digitally restored artwork and new liner notes written by John Earls with contributions from all three band members. The LP format on coveted red vinyl lovingly recreates the original release, complete with fold-out insert.
