Album Introduction
Revenge is the sixth studio album by Eurythmics — Annie Lennox (vocals and keyboards) and Dave Stewart (guitar, keyboards and production) — released in July 1986 on RCA Records. The album reached No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 12 in the United States, and spawned four UK Top 30 singles. Thorn in My Side reached UK No. 5, The Miracle of Love UK No. 23, When Tomorrow Comes UK No. 30 and Missionary Man UK No. 31 (US No. 14). This pressing is a Spanish bilingual edition — a collectable variant in which every track carries both its English title and a Spanish translation (for example, Missionary Man = Hombre Misionero, Thorn in My Side = Espina Clavada, The Miracle of Love = Milagro de Amor). The album marked a shift towards a harder, more guitar-driven rock sound compared to the synthesiser-dominated earlier albums, with Stewart's production incorporating blues and soul influences alongside the duo's established electronic pop aesthetic, and Lennox's vocal performances reaching a new level of raw power and emotional directness.
Stand-Out Tracks
- Thorn in My Side — The album's most immediately accessible and commercially effective single; a driving, guitar-led pop-rock track with a hook of complete precision and a production that demonstrates Stewart's ability to combine electronic and rock elements with complete commercial effectiveness. UK No. 5.
- Missionary Man — A driving, blues-influenced rock track that gives the album one of its most viscerally exciting and rhythmically compelling moments; Lennox's vocal is completely uninhibited and the production gives the song a raw energy that marks a clear departure from the duo's earlier synth-pop sound. UK No. 31. US No. 14.
- The Miracle of Love — One of the album's most emotionally direct and vocally impressive ballads; a slow, gospel-influenced soul track that gives Lennox the opportunity to demonstrate the full power and expressiveness of her voice in a context of sustained emotional intensity. UK No. 23.
- When Tomorrow Comes — A warm, mid-tempo pop track that gives the album one of its most melodically generous and immediately accessible moments; its combination of Lennox's completely assured vocal and Stewart's contemporary production gives it a commercial appeal of complete effectiveness. UK No. 30.
- I Remember You — The album's closing track and its most emotionally expansive at five minutes; a slow, atmospheric ballad that brings the album to a conclusion of genuine emotional weight and gives Lennox one of her most quietly extraordinary vocal moments on the record.
