"NEVER, NEVER", THE ASSEMBLY + FEARGAL SHARKEY

The Assembly fue una fugaz banda de synthpop formado por Vince Clark y el ingeniero de sonido Eric Radcliffe, originada en la ciudad británica de Basildon en 1983, inmediatamente después de la separación de Yazoo. Sólo editaron un single "NEVER, NEVER" ("Nunca, nunca") cantada por el ex-Undertones Feargal Sharkey, completamente diferente al estilo punk de su propio grupo. Fue nº4 en el Reino Unido.  ¿La recordáis?

They only released one single "NEVER, NEVER" sung by ex-Undertones Feargal Sharkey, completely apart from his own group's punk style. It was nº4 in the UK. Do you remember?
