Their second album, 'After Here Through Midland', followed in 1987 and was another huge success across Europe. It included the hit 'Just Around The Corner.' Europe's love affair with the band propelled the album into the top 10 (Netherlands #6, Belgium #3, Germany #6, France #4) and it went platinum in France. Third album, 'First Love / Last Rites' produced by Rhett Davies, who worked with Roxy Music, was released in 1989.
