This was a reissue in a totally different sleeve.
Promise Nothing mostly combines material from
her debut EP A Bao A Qu and her debut album From Gardens Where We Feel Secure.
We Will Meet Them Again featured words taken
from a translation of Mahler's Songs On The Death Of Children. The melody for
this song was also used by Virginia for the song Joy which features on the Richard Jobson album The
Ballad Of Etiquette.
The melody for Angels Crying was
also used as incidental music on the track A Long Absence (Un Entetien
Avec Marguerite Duras) from the Les Disques Du Crépuscule
compilation album The Fruit Of The Original Sin.
Love's
A Lonely Place To Be was released as a single in January 1983.
The version of Soaring featured here is different
from the version that originally appeared on the B-Side to Love's
A Lonely Place To Be.
Futility features words taken from the Wilfred
Owen poem of the same name set to music composed by Virginia. This is a remixed version of the track which features on the Mighty
Reel cassette compilation (4 lines of vocals have been mixed out to allow prominence for the oboe). A Summer Long Since Passed had originally featured
as the B-Side to the 12" version of the single Love's
A Lonely Place To Be and subsequently appeared on Virginia's debut album
From Gardens Where We Feel Secure.
