About the Artist
All About Eve emerged on the late 80s UK "gothic" scene. The band's nucleus of erstwhile rock journalist and Gene Loves Jezebel bass player Julianne Regan, along with Tim Bricheno (ex-Aemotti Crii), provided much of their song material. After various early personnel changes, the rhythm section was stabilized with Andy Cousin (bass; also ex-Aemotti Crii) and Mark Price (drums).

Given encouragement by rising stars the Mission (for whom Regan had in the past sung backing vocals), All About Eve developed a solid following and with a backdrop of hippie mysticism and imagery, provided a taste of the exotic with a mixture of Goth rock and 70s folk. Early singles "Our Summer" and "Flowers In Our Hair" achieved great success in the UK independent charts and after signing to Mercury Records, their modest showings in the national charts finally gave them a Top 10 hit in July 1988 with "Martha's Harbour".

Both albums reached the UK Top 10, confirming their aspirations to be among the front-runners in UK rock in the late 80s. However, this ambition was dealt a blow in 1990 when a rift between the band and guitarist Bricheno resulted in his departure to join Sisters Of Mercy. The recruitment of Church guitarist Marty Willson-Piper on a part-time basis revitalized the band's drive, although the subsequent album, Touched By Jesus.
