The Passions were a British-Irish post-punk/new wave band which formed in 1978 and disbanded in 1983. The Passions’ music was grounded mainly in Barbara Gogan’s voice and Clive Timperley’s delicate Echoplex guitar work. They were considered a one-hit wonder due to their early 1981 single “I’m in Love with a German Film Star”.
Sanctuary is the third and last album by English post-punk/new wave band The Passions, released on 18 September 1982 by Polydor Records.
