I saw about 80% of the video for "Behind the Wall of Sleep" on MTV one night in 1986 or 1987 and had to find the album. Wow. After more than twenty years, the song hold up very well, and indeed, I rate Especially for You as one of the three best albums, start-to-finish, among the several hundred in my collection (the other two being Lush's Lovelife (1996) and Squeeze's Argybargy (1980)). At some point I supplemented the LP I'd originally bought with a CD, but it still gets a regular listen.
I had always thought it was about Michael "Micky" Steele of the Bangles (and formerly of the Runaways), but in fact the song was written about Kimberleigh Ernst, bass player for The Bristols, a Boston band.
