referencing Julia (7", 45 RPM, Single, Picture Disc) VSY734
I used to own a miss-press of this picture disc which played "Ministry of Love" on both sides.
It always seemed odd to me that Julia appears on the 1984 album – of all the Eurythmics albums, 1984 is the hardest and most brash of them all – and yet it contains Julia, one of the most beautiful of all the Eurythmics songs. Julia is a jewel amongst cold stones; in comparison, Sexcrime and Ministry of Love are harsh, militant electronica. Obviously, the strong political issues of the 1984 book, and the extreme dictates of the film industry had an effect on this Eurythmics album (and necessarily so . . . ). 1984 is an enjoyable and interesting album, but certainly not my favourite. However, it does hold my favourite track – so 1984, as an album, is special.
Julia is about love and time; and whether a love is strong enough to surpass the passing seasons. I love the way Annie Lennox sings this song. Her voice captures the paradox of both time and love / eternity and the ever-dying, fleeting instant.
The single at just over 4 minutes is too truncated and when you listen to this abbreviated version of the song, it seems damaged by its abrupt end. I don’t really like listening to this shorter version. It’s one of those cases where the “extended” version is how the song appears on the actual album. So, as a single, the 12" is the way to hear Julia properly, giving the exalting vocals their necessary time and a more proper sense of the theme of eternity. The extra time is not 12" extra-beats waffle, it is Dave Stewarts' excellent (Spanish?) guitar playing. [The 45 rpm 12” probably benefits from a better recording than the 33rpm vinyl album as the grooves are spread over the vinyl giving a more resonant bass.]referencing Julia (7", 45 RPM, Single, Stereo) 107 062
