| 'Little 15' was never intended as a single - in fact from the outset, it was touch and go as to whether the track would even be recorded at all. However, encouraged by Dan Miller, an experimental approach in the studio gave rise to a simple ballad based around a Nyman-esque opening string arrangement. It was the French record company who later insisted the song was perfect for their market, resulting in a release geared towards this territory only. There is some confusion over which other European countries eventually released the single. Certainly, it was never officially released in England and yet, remarkably, still managed to chart on Import only - a perfect demonstration of the die-hard following that DM now enjoyed. In fact, so fanatical that perversely, it could work against the group. |
