"Bachelor Kisses" was the second single released by The Go-Betweens from their third album, ''Spring Hill Fair''. It was released in August 1984 by Sire Records.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Go-Betweens: Bachelor Kisses )〕 In the UK a 12" single was also released on Sire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Go-Betweens, The - Bachelor Kisses )〕 "Bachelor Kisses" was the Go-Betweens' first real attempt at a commercial single. ==Details== In a review of the song on Allmusic, Ned Raggett, comments that such a comparison is both worthwhile and not misplaced. He goes on to state that the song "has the rich, world-weary beauty one might expect from that singer in her 1980s work, but the song is very much a Go-Betweens song through and through. There's the same gentle but clear tension in the rhythm section, the crystalline but never overbearing guitar, the sense of deeper roots but a clearly modern performance"〔 In Mat Snow's review in the October, 1984 edition of NME he states "Only when we're confronted with a song so perfectly turned, lines so finely balanced and a melody so achingly sweet as Bachelor Kisses are we forced to notice how hollow most contemporary pop rings." Forster later said of the song, "Grant wrote this. It sounded like a pop song right from the word go. He was a very, very melodic songwriter. "Bachelor Kisses" was just something that rolled off and felt very natural and beautiful. It's amazing." The single and the album failed to chart in the UK or Australia resulting in the band being dropped by Sire Records. "Bachelor Kisses" was however voted in at No. 72 in Triple J's Hottest 100 for 1989 Swedish band, The Radio Dept., recorded an exclusive cover of "Bachelor Kisses", for the August 2007 issue of the Swedish fanzine ''I Godan Ro''. Only 10 copies of that issue were printed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bachelor Kisses」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
