Ultra Modern Nursery Rhymes
Ultra Modern Nursery Rhymes is the only album released by the short lived group Terry, Blair & Anouchka.
Overview
Terry, Blair & Anouchka were formed shortly after the dissolution of Terry's previous musical project The Colourfield. All three members shared a love for '60s pop, as well as kitschy mainstream pop, as evidenced on the trio's cover of Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together."[1] "Missing" was released as a single in November 1989, followed by "Ultra Modern Nursery Rhyme" in February 1990. Both singles reached the lower end of the UK Singles Chart. Ultra Modern Nursery Rhymes, was released in February 1990 to little attention. The group split shortly afterwards.
Release
The album did not chart in the UK. "Missing" reached #75[2] in November 1989, "Ultra Modern Nursery Rhyme" the second and final single charted at #77[2] the following year. The album was re-released in 2004 by Cherry Red records with two additional bonus tracks.
