I Hear Talk

Bucks Fizz had been consistently in the public eye for three years by the end of 1983 and so decided to keep a low profile for the first half of 1984 following the low-charting performance of their last single Rules of the Game.

[2] Another single "Golden Days" (a reworking of a recent Cliff Richard song)[3] was released in October, but failed to chart as highly.

The album's sleeve featured a sepia-toned photograph of the group on the beach at Camber Sands, surrounded by a wide black border.

[7] This was the group's final album both with their original record company, RCA and member Jay Aston, who quit the line-up the following year.

Two years later, a follow-up compilation gave further alternate versions of "Indebted to You", "Tears On the Ballroom Floor", "Golden Days", "Talking in Your Sleep" and "Breaking Me Up".

[10] While Bucks Fizz were generally criticised in the media for producing lightweight pop music, their albums usually received favourable reviews.

[15] In 2017, Classic Pop reviewed the album, saying that "Talking in Your Sleep" had "pre-echoes of Bon Jovi's "Livin' On a Prayer", while the title track was "slinky".
