Captain Sensible - The Power of Love

English singer-songwriter Captain Sensible followed his 1982 solo debut Women and Captains First (click here for that review) with The Power of Love. I had to do a bit of digging on the Internet just so I could review this 1983 release as it is a pretty rare record, so let’s see what we come up with.

Captain Sensible - Women and Captains First

Today (September 3rd) marks the thirtieth anniversary of the release of Women and Captains First, the solo debut album of Captain Sensible. Prior to this 1982 release, the English singer-songwriter, keyboardist and guitarist was part of the punk band the Damned.

The album sparked interest in the UK, going to number 64 on the charts there. Here in the US, the album mostly got play on college radio and other stations that featured early alternative artists.
