About
Youthquake is the second album by the British pop group Dead or Alive and was released in May 1985. This album was their commercial breakthrough in Europe and the United States, due to the single "You Spin Me Round", which was a UK number-one hit and a top 20 hit in the United States. Additional single releases included "Lover Come Back To Me", "In Too Deep" and "My Heart Goes Bang". This was Dead or Alive's first collaboration with the Stock Aitken Waterman production team. Youthquake was re-released in the UK on compact disc in 1994, with the two bonus tracks that were previously included on the original CD (^) and cassette versions of the album. Recent US and Japanese reissues have reverted to the original vinyl track listing. The album peaked at no.9 in the UK and was certified Gold by the BPI for sales of over 100,000 copies.
