On 21 May 1984, David Sylvian released his debut single, 'Red Guitar'. Calling it " a good commercial for the album ... " was a fair summation from David.
A lovely video shot by Anton Corbijn, his first project with Sylvian, climbed to number 17 on the UK chart, giving Sylvian an immediate solo Top 20 hit and starting one of the more unusual second acts in British pop.
