    I wish for an instrumental release, especially for Foreign affair. Not my type of vocal performance, but the synth usage is insane.

      Super popular in the eighties because of Moonlight Shadow sung by Maggie Reilly. Probably the best out of the set of albums featuring one long instrumental track on one side, and a collection of pop songs on the other (the other two being QE2 and Five Miles Out). Recording quality is very good and dynamic with an almost digital like crispness. The title track is quite a strong composition compared to previous albums with lots of colour and punch, and side one features 1 instrumental and several vocal tracks sung my Maggie Reilly, Jon Anderson and Roger Chapman. Taurus 3 is a rather weak followup to Taurus 1 and 2.

        Slightly different (Runout A, stamped V2262 A-2-1-1 x 1) (Runout B, stamped V2262 B-2-1-1-) comments?
