''Shades of Liberty'' is the debut album from Belfast new wave/rock band Silent Running, released in 1984. ==Background== After the minor success in the UK of the 1983 debut single "When the 12th of Never Comes",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Official Charts Company - When The 12th Of Never Comes by Silent Running Search )〕 the band recorded their first full album for EMI Records. Prior to signing to EMI the band recruited George Beavis on keyboards and together the band recorded tracks such as 'Speed of Life' for the proposed first album although Beavis was subsequently dismissed and replaced with Alex White. The resulting album was ''Shades of Liberty''. A total of three singles were released from the album; "Emotional Warfare", "Young Hearts", and "Sticks and Stones". Despite attempts at success via the album's singles, the band never achieved the desired breakthrough. The only impact made was by "Young Hearts" which peaked at #92 in the UK for a total of 2 weeks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Official Charts Company - Young Hearts by Silent Running Search )〕 The ''Shades of Liberty'' album failed to chart. Both "Young Hearts" and "Sticks and Stones" were released within the UK and Europe only, whilst "Emotional Warfare" was released in America as well as Europe. Following the commercial failure of the album, it was the band's only full album release for EMI. A second album was planned, although with the very limited success of the 1985 single "No Faith is Blind", the second album was cancelled, causing the band to sign to Atlantic Records after, where they would record two albums. 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「Shades of Liberty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
