The Past Seven Days were a sheffield band on the 4AD label, but unfortunately left 4AD and signed to DinDisc. Dispite switching labels this 4AD release was sadly the only thing that was ever put out by them.
'Raindance' is simply 6 mins of tranquil, melodic beauty.

ReplyDeleteI was at Sheffield Poly 78-81 and saw you several times. I have photos of your gig there November 26, 1980 where the 'Cocktail Party' warmed up. I also still have your single as a prized possesion. Great music - thanks!

Happy memories, I have this 7". My brother Simon designed the sleeve ;)
ReplyDeleteMax and John are still around in Sheffield, but not active musically, I'm afraid. Trevor went on to They Must Be Russians and I replaced him...
