Page "Eurythmics" Paragraph 7

In 1984 RCA released Touch Dance, a mini-album of remixes of four of the tracks from Touch, aimed at the club market.

The remixes were by prominent New York producers Francois Kevorkian and John " Jellybean " Benitez.

Also released in 1984 was Eurythmics ' soundtrack album 1984 ( For the Love of Big Brother ).

Virgin Films had contracted the band to provide a soundtrack for Michael Radford's modern film adaptation of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.

However, Radford later said that the music had been " foisted " on his film against his wishes, and that Virgin had replaced most of Dominic Muldowney's original orchestral score with the Eurythmics soundtrack ( including the song " Julia ", which was heard during the end credits ).

Nevertheless, the record was presented as " music derived from the original score of Eurythmics for the Michael Radford film version of Orwell's 1984 ".

Eurythmics charged that they had been misled by the film's producers as well, and the album was withdrawn from the market for a period while matters were litigated.

The album's first single, " Sexcrime ( Nineteen Eighty-Four )", was a top 5 hit in the UK, Australia and across Europe, and a major dance success in the United States, but its supposedly suggestive title ( actually taken from the newspeak phrase used in Orwell's book ) resulted in many U. S. pop radio stations refusing to play the track.
