Scritti Politti : Cupid & Psyche 85
(38:23)
1985 (original March 3, 1986)

On their second album, Scritti Politti essentially was Green Gartside, who directed drummer Fred Maher, keyboardist David Gamson, and a multitude of studio musicians through a state-of-the-art, immaculately constructed set of catchy, synth-pop on Cupid & Psyche 85. The results are as impressive as Songs to Remember, and produced the hit singles "Perfect Way" and "Wood Beez (Pray like Aretha Franklin)."
