German pressed music cassette. Black cassette with silver text

On their fifth album, Eurythmics moved away from the austere synth-pop of their previous work and toward more of a neo-60s pop/rock stance. “Missionary Man” (which went Top 40 as a single in the U.S. and charted in the U.K.) featured a prominent harmonica solo, while “Thorn In My Side” had a chiming guitar riff reminiscent of the Searchers and a fat sax solo. Of course, the primary element in the group’s sound remained Annie Lennox’s distinctive alto voice, which was as impressive as ever. Lennox and Stewart contributed material that was more emotionally bare than before and more personal as well with music that corresponded to the material. The introduction of R&B styled material on their previous album cont used here with a predilection towards a more bluesy style on the hit single “Missionary Man” and a couple of other tracks. This is where all of their influences and unique styled melded into a seamless whole. Revenge was a successful album, reaching the Top Ten in the U.K. and going gold in the U.S.
