It's definitely less straight ahead than Revenge on the whole, but the big production is still very much there, with one very obvious exception - not that this is in any way a problem! 'Shame' is just a brilliant, brilliant song.
All Music Guide has this down as a two star record. It fucking isn't!

Easily top 3 Eurythmics for me (I’d put Sweet Dreams and 1984 ahead of it, sue me).

Has anyone ever seen the video version of the LP?

Yeah - it screened on TV a few times in Australia. I don't remember it in detail but according to fuzzy memory, the clips for the singles are excerpts - it's conceptual videos for each song with short linkages e.g. Annie walking out of the set for Beethoven and out into the street to where the next song's video begins.

Okay, as someone who has always been a fan of huge, ambitious projects in music, I have to see that.

Most of it is in a YouTube playlist which comes up as the first search hit, I found. The housewife / drag dichotomy is pretty cool.

Ooh, it would seem there's two different versions of the 'Beethoven' video...

she said, everything is fiction-- all cynic to the bone-- so don't ask me to stay with you. don't ask to see me home.

"Beethoven", jeez. I used to listen to my cassette of Savage on repeat 30 years ago but had never heard it since then. What a banger (and that video..!). Surprised my local goth/industrial club didn't spin it at the time.
