Red Box - Heart Of The Sun (WEA)

This lot last graced the chart with the jolly "For America" - a tune with a great video and an irresistible hook that everyone was humming in spite of themselves. Before that they pioneered pop music for the deaf (!?) with a video for the single "Lean On Me" which included a person in the corner of the screen signing the lyrics to the song. Looks like they've just run out of good ideas. (Pat Thomas, No 1, January 31, 1987)

Talk about finding the formula and milking it dry. Do Red Box know the meaning of the word variety? It's the same as the previous saccharine-laden objects of inanity, destined to be bought by thousands with no taste. (Nancy Culp, Record Mirror, January 31, 1987)
