The early Eighties were full of colourful pop artists, and Steve Strange was among them. I had the pleasure of seeing him live on stage at the beginning of this century when he was touring with a pack of Eighties artists, and this song was on the set. I never bought the single, because it didn't cross my path and I almost forgot about it.
But, behold: suddenly I found this great UK pressing in a German second hand store while on my way from Darmstadt where I attended a conference, to home. My short visit to Mannheim suddenly became worthwhile.
My collection: 7" single no. 5939

Fade to grey (Bassheads 93 remix) - Visage
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20200630211657im_/https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HvCNHaaadrI/SZXaJ5pqrlI/AAAAAAAABgc/PHf63Mn-lUg/s200/visage2.jpg)
Being as interested in cover versions and remixes as I am, I always try out such releases. In this case, I was well pleased with this single. The remix updated the original music, but thankfully kept the original vocals intact. Nothing beats the original track, of course, but sometimes this is a great alternative.

Found: Virgin Megastore, London, October 22, 1993
