Der schottische "Hochtöner" und Ex-"Bronsik Beat"-Sänger Jimmy Somerville verließ 1985 seine ehemalige Band aus persönlichen, musikalischen und politischen Gründen, um bald darauf mit dem Multi-Instrumentalisten Richard Coles The Communards zu gründen. Das Material des ersten Albums Communards reichte von politisch engagierten Songs wie "Reprise" über Jazz-Klassiker wie "Lover Man" bis zur Coverversion des Sould-Oldies "Don't Leave Me This Way". Mit dieser Single stürmten The Communards damals innerhalb kürzester Zeit auf Platz 1 der US Billboard Charts und erzielten an britischen Verkaufstheken den besten Umsatz des Jahres 1986. Im Anschluss an das mitreißende Konzert mit Hits wie "Don't Leave Me This Way", "You Are My World" und "Disenchanted" stellt Moderator Alan Bangs die britische Band vor und befragt jimmy Somerville zu seinem Werdegang und zu seiner Motivation, Texte zu schreiben. Aufnahmedatum: Oktober 1986 im Capitol in Hannover.



The Scottish “falsetto squealer” and ex-“Bronski Beat” singer Jimmy Somerville left his erstwhile band due to personal, musical and political reasons, and soon after founded The Communards with multi-talented instrumentalist Richard Coles. The repertoire of the group covered a wide spectrum, ranging from politically committed songs like “Reprise” through jazz classics like “Lover Man” to the cover version of the soul-oldie “Don’t Leave Me This Way” - all from the first album “Communards”. With the release of this single, The Communards shot up the US Billboard charts to number 1 then and rang up the best turnover at British cash registers for the year 1986.

The British band is introduced at the Capitol in Hanover by Alan Bangs, who, in connexion with the emotionally charged concert - which includes the songs “Don’t Leave Me This Way“, “You Are My World“ and “Disenchanted“ - interviews Jimmy Somerville and Richard Coles on their career and motivation to write lyrics.

Recorded: 2 October 1986, “Capitol” in Hannover
