Description
Released in October 1983, "North Of A Miracle" was Nick Heyward's first solo album after leaving Haircut 100. Produced by Geoff Emerick (The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Badfinger, America, Supertramp and many more), the album features the hit singles "Take That Situation", "Whistle Down The Wind", "Blue Hat For A Blue Day" and "On A Sunday". The album went on to sell over 100,000 copies in the UK, earning a Gold Disc Award.

Expanded to a Deluxe 3CD Edition, Disc One features the original album mastered from the original stereo tapes, Disc Two features the various 12" mixes, instrumental versions and non-album B-sides, while Disc Three, entitled "Recordings 1984", features Nick's 1984 single releases "Love All Day" and "Warning Sign", along with the tracks from their accompanying 12" singles. Also featured are three previously unreleased tracks: "Teach Till You Reach" (an unreleased single), "Give Love More Time" (an alternate instrumental version of "Love All Day"), and "Kiss Those Tears Goodbye" (an unfinished recording featuring the backing vocals only).

Annotated by author and journalist Daryl Easlea, based on a brand-new interview with Nick Heyward, this 3CD set is presented in Deluxe 7" Packaging, with a 20-page booklet.
