Writing on the Wall (Bucks Fizz album)

Writing on the Wall is an album by British pop group Bucks Fizz. It was released in 1986 and featured the comeback top ten single "New Beginning (Mamba Seyra)". It was the first album to feature member Shelley Preston and their only album released on Polydor Records. Despite the album being initially unsuccessful in the charts, it went on to be re-released twice - first in 2004 and again in 2012, both times with different track listings. It remains the group's final studio album.

Overview

Writing on the Wall was a significant album in the Bucks Fizz catalogue for many reasons. Apart from being their final studio album, it was also the only one to feature newly recruited member Shelley Preston, who had replaced Jay Aston a year before. It was also their first album on a different record label — Polydor — after their 5-year contract with RCA had finished. Despite this, the album contained three of its ten songs from the RCA days. These being the first two singles, "You and Your Heart so Blue" and "Magical", along with a remix of "I Hear Talk", which was featured on their 1984 album of the same name, but included here as it had since become a big hit in the clubs in both the UK and US.
