We love her Seasons Of My Soul album, especially Goodbye Girl.
Although our favourite song by Rumer may be from a few years later, Better Place.

We don't know anything about the Irish charts, tastes in music.
But the stats say they had 4 top 10 hits with Linger and Zombie both reaching 3.
Somebody on here will probably know what were Nos. 1 and 2 at the time.

With Music In Mind @withmusicinmind.bsky.social · 1d

Wow! 7 weeks at number one in Australia.
That's something to be proud of.
Very surprisingly, they never had a No. 1 single in Ireland.

Thank you.
Yes a few people have now sent us pictures of their copies, so it's great to see they did actually exist.

With Music In Mind @withmusicinmind.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you very much, it's great to see an actual physical copy of the record.
Maybe obscure isn't the correct wording, but despite reaching the UK top 40, it was never available in any record shops frequented by either of us at the time (and frequented is the correct word).

Thank you very much.
It's great to see an actual physical copy of the record.
Back in the day, would always look for it in the various record shops, but to no avail.

@dtate0007.bsky.social as someone who has many obscure 7" singles in your collection, we we wondering if you also have these two?
Never found either of them, despite always looking.

While checking 1981 debuts, we found at least 2 other BEF releases, which we know nothing about.
Ware and Marsh had a very busy 1981
