Bananarama - Set On You Lyrics

LUSH!!!!

This was a non album track which was released as the b-side to A Trick of the Night.

I still believe one of the greatest Bananarama mysteries of all time is how in the world this song was released as a 12” in CANADA only (on a cropped up sleeve from “Do Not Disturb”). I think this should have been released worldwide after “A Trick of the Night” (at least to DJs) as a medley of “True Confessions” singles. I have always thought this track is sheer brilliance. (And really, why CANADA???)

I actually have that 12"! Back in the day - without internet, when you couldn't instantly check artist single releases, I remember buying it, listening to it and thinking was this actually a single? Seemed a bit unfinished but still love(d) the track

Devo34 Fascinating! Were you in Canada at the time? I found my first copy at a small college record shop in Kingston, Ontario (I’m American, not Canadian, but a huge Nana fan and was visiting friends there). I was like ... ? Why only in CANADA? 🇨🇦 An eternal mystery.

@Indy Gringo Oh yeah, totally bought it in Canada - 1986, small hometown record shop. I remember I really loved the picture of the girls on the front sleeve but again, had no idea that this was even a single (and found out much later it wasn't and that the image was originally used for Do Not Disturb). The B side had More than Physical - musclebound mix and Ghost. And what was really weird about that 12" design? The back sleeve had an image with a piece of tape attached to it - I loved that for some strange reason. I'd love to ask the girls the origins of this 12" but I highly doubt they'd even remember Set On You let only where or why it was released only in Canada! You're right though, it truly is an eternal mystery!!

Indy Gringo maybe london records had offices in Canada and someone over there chose it for their inner market

snowbelle74 I loved that gatefold sleeve portrait, as well. Such a treasure.

Can't believe I never new this song existed

BACK IN TIME TO THE 1980'S 40 YEARS LATER AND ITS STILL SOUNDS COOL😁
