The Colourfield - Deception (1987)

Deception was to be the last album released by the British new wave band, The Colourfield. During the recording of the album Karl Shale left during the sessions. Terry has since voiced his displeasure with the recording of the album because he did not feel he had the control of the session musicians and producers the way he needed to preserve The Colourfield’s sound.

Deception was much less successful than its predecessor Virgins and Philistines, and only reached #95 in the UK. It was promoted by two singles both cover versions. The first "Running Away" a cover of the Sly and the Family Stone hit made #84, the second single "She" (originally performed by The Monkees) didn't chart at all.

In 2010, the album along with Virgins and Philistines was re-released on CD in the UK by Cherry Red records additional with bonus tracks.
