Page "Bronski Beat" Paragraph 8

The band and their producer Mike Thorne had gone back into the studio in early 1985 to record a new single, " Run From Love ".

PolyGram ( London Records ' parent company at that time ) had pressed a number of promo singles and 12 " versions of the song, sending them out to both radio and record stores in the UK.

However, the single was shelved as tensions in the band, both personal and political, resulted in Somerville leaving Bronski Beat in the summer of that year.

" Run From Love " was subsequently released in a remix form on the Bronski Beat album Hundreds & Thousands, a collection of mostly remixes ( LP ) and b-sides ( as bonus tracks on the CD version ) as well as the hit " I Feel Love ".

Somerville went on to form The Communards with Richard Coles while the remaining members of Bronski Beat searched for a new vocalist.
