SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS)

180gm vinyl LP pressing. 1983 release, the second album from the British new wave duo. After almost two years of initial commercial failure for Eurythmics, this album became a commercial breakthrough for the duo on both sides of the Atlantic. The title track became particularly popular, and it remains one of Eurythmics' most recognizable songs. In the wake of the success of the title track, the single "Love Is a Stranger", previously a flop was re-released and became a hit as well. Sweet Dreams saw the duo move away from the psychedelic, guitar-tinged band-oriented sound of their 1981 debut album In the Garden, instead focusing on raw analogue synthesizers and drum machines.
