Description
In 1987 T'Pau were officially bigger than The Beatles, keeping George Harrison and Paul McCartney at No.2 in the UK singles and album charts respectively.' The multi-platinum selling T'Pau return with a brand new album and UK tour for 2015. Original song-writers Carol Decker and Ron Rogers team up for the first time in nearly 25 years to re-ignite the spark that brought us massive chart toppers Heart & Soul and the seminal 80's power ballad China In Your Hand, amongst a string of other hits, towards the close of that now celebrated decade. It's a rock 'n' roll tale that's drenched in 'Pleasure & Pain'……….. 'T'Pau hold the exclusive title of holding three No.1 slots at once. 'China' No.1 in the singles charts, 'Bridge of Spies' No.1 in the album charts and the 'China Remix' at No.1 in the dance charts!' Five weeks on the UK No.1 spot, six months on the US Billboard chart, and a million-plus selling debut album started a journey that initially spawned a further two Top 10 albums and a raft of hit singles that ended abruptly after four years amidst band in fighting, dubious management and family stresses. Although remaining friends, Carol and Ron's own personal relationship had run its course and each had to go their own way. 'T'Pau were nominated for 5 BPI's (Brit Awards of the time), an Ivor Novello Award for 'China In Your Hand', and an ASCAP Award from the USA for 'Heart & Soul'.' In 1997 Carol built a new T'Pau around her and released the critically-acclaimed album 'Red', but it wasn't until the band's 25th Anniversary in 2013 that the original founders of the band Carol Decker and Ronnie Rogers reunited for a highly successful tour and started writing new material and the dream of another classic T'Pau album suddenly became a reality. "Pleasure & Pain" is that brand new classic T'Pau album. As Carol says, "We're no different to anyone else. Our story and our lives reflect what happens to everyone, everyday. We've reached the stage where there's nothing in the way anymore. We can be ourselves, and that's what these songs are about. We're immensely proud of what we've achieved both in the past, and particularly with this new album."
