One Day

This was a 1985 collaboration with Vince Clarke, formally of the bands Depeche Mode and Yazoo.

After the dissolution of Yazoo with Alison Moyet, Vince Clarke had the idea to record a number of tracks with different vocalists and collaborators. However only two singles were recorded this way before Vince decided to settle on vocalist Andy Bell and form the pop act Erasure. Whereas the single "Never Never" (with Feargal Sharkey and Eric Radcliffe under the name The Assembly) was a top ten success in the UK singles chart, "One Day" just missed the Top 75.

Record Trivia

The record was produced by Flood and co-written by Vince Clarke with Cameron McVey and Jamie J. Morgan of the band Morgan McVey.
