After a gap of three years from their previous Single Go West burst back into the charts in the UK and across the world with this sensational worldwide hit. Used in the opening scenes of the smash hit film 'Pretty Woman' the King Of Wishful Thinking hit No1 across the world and remains Go West's best known hit. Backed by some really hard promotion by Pete and Rick and a wonderful video which is upbeat, fun and very pleasing on the eye this track was Go West at their very best. The guys looked sensational and sounded it as well and the video literally saw everything including the kitchen sink, the Pope, Elvis and Roy Orbison on a scuna used to support Pete and Ricks efforts!. Its just a wonderful track and gave Westies a tantalising glimpse of the delights to come in the Forthcoming Go West Album 'Indian Summer' and Pete and Rick certainly did not dissapoint!
The CD single contained 4 tracks and is easier to find then the Vinyl single because of the ascendancy of CD over vinyl in the 1990's. The CD track listing is as follows:
1. THE KING OF WISHFUL THINKING
2. THE KING OF WISHFUL THINKING (Jon Gass US 12 inch)
3. TEARS TOO LATE
4. THE KING OF WISHFUL THINKING (Acapella)
To pick up your copy of the King Of Wishful Thinking keep an eye on various second hand music retailers where copies may turn up. Also look for the Soundtrack to Pretty Woman which of course contains the best song from the Movie!
