The Box: The Box (1984)


I thought that The Box--whom I saw in concert at least once--were a very solid Canadian New Wave band. I think the single from this record was the first track, Must I Always Remember. Why is it that so many record labels insist that the lead-off track must be the single?

After I saw the Box years ago, my friend, Pete, asked one of the band members (I'm not sure which one) if any Box albums would be released on CD. The band member said that he couldn't even afford to buy a CD player. That says a lot about life as a musician in Canada in the 80s. By the way, if there was an award for a video that bears no relation to the song, this one would be in the running. The video is incomprehensible.
