Weird one that, isn't it. I think if more people had heard it things would have been different, because those of us who did all liked it (maybe not totally immediately admittedly!)
In case that read like I'm stating the obvious, what I mean is...I've always thought if Tiny Children had come out as a single at the end of 1981 then it would have been a xmas hit and more people would have bought the album. Colours Fly Away just didn't sound strong enough as a single and by the time TC was belatedly released the following summer it was just too late.
Not forgetting this psych pop genius of course:

The TE were my lifeline as a young 'un with a natural inclination to all things psych. I could never understand my Duran liking mates.
Still wouldn't either.
