Klappentext

When Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart attempted to rise from the ashes of their brief post-punk glory as members of The Tourists, the odds seemed drastically stacked against them. However, initial setbacks were not enough to stop their transformation into the powerhouse that became Eurythmics, one of the most successful pop duos of all time.

In a career spanning several decades, always at the vanguard of evolving musical trends, they recorded over 100 original tracks including many experimental rarities and B-sides, constantly changing and progressing their sound. From cold electronics to soulful RnB and rock, the music of this dynamic pair lives on in the psyche of popular culture and sounds as fresh today as it did thirty years ago.

A catalogue as diverse, innovative and impactful as that of Eurythmics absolutely deserves to be unpacked, celebrated and savoured--song by song. Enjoy.
