Data Insight
All twelve tracks are Lennox and Stewart. It is the longest album in the catalogue and the one where the writing partnership works with the fewest other people in the room.
Savage came out on RCA in November 1987, made largely on a drum machine in a French studio, and is the coldest record they released.
