In the Garden is the debut studio album by the British new wave duo Eurythmics. It was released on 16 October 1981 by RCA Records.
It was co-produced with krautrock producer Conny Plank at his studio in Cologne, and features numerous guest musicians including Blondie drummer Clem Burke, Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft drummer Robert Görl, and Can duo Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit. Plank had previously worked with the duo whilst they were in their previous band The Tourists.
Two singles were released from the album in the UK, 'Never Gonna Cry Again' and 'Belinda'. Neither the album nor the singles achieved much commercial success, although 'Never Gonna Cry Again' charted at number 63 in the UK singles chart.[2]
On 14 November 2005, RCA repackaged and released Eurythmics' back catalogue as '2005 Deluxe Edition Reissues'. The re-issue of In the Garden added the B-sides from the album's two singles, plus three tracks recorded live on the accompanying tour.
Reception[edit]
In a favourable review in Smash Hits magazine, Tim de Lisle commented 'The ex-Tourists pack their bags and leave the safe pastures of pure English pop for the electronic delights of Cologne and superstar producer Connie Plank. On the way, they mug up on their Foxx, Bowie, and Joy Division without forgetting their own roots, and the result is an intelligent, accessible first album.'[1]
