Blacker Than Black

"Blacker Than Black" is a 1990 single by Scottish alternative rock group Goodbye Mr Mackenzie.

"Blacker Than Black" was the band's second and final single release under the Parlophone label, and preceded its parent album Hammer and Tongs by almost a year.

[4] "Blacker Than Black" debuted on the Official Charts at #77[5] before moving up to a peak position of #61 the following week.

The earlier Debbie Harry slot proved fortuitous, as her manager Gary Kurfirst was impressed enough with Goodbye Mr Mackenzie to sign them to his label, Radioactive Records.

[1] In 1991, Radioactive Records released "Blacker Than Black" in European territories on CD, 7" and 12" vinyl backed with a cover version of Velvet Underground's "Candy Says" and Hammer and Tongs album cut "Bold John Barleycorn", which had been omitted from the band's international album release.
