Thursday music corner: The Assembly were a short-lived synth-pop side-project formed by ex-Depeche Mode and Yazoo member Vince Clarke and record engineer and producer Eric Radcliffe, who would later go on to own Blackwing Studios.
Never Never was the group's only single, and featured the ex-Undertones lead singer Feargal Sharkey on vocals. The Clarke-penned synth ballad reached number four in the UK pop charts in November 1983. Clarke would go on to huge chart success with Andy Bell in Erasure, scoring 34 top 40 UK singles between 1986 and 2007. Sharkey would go on to a successful solo career with five UK top 40 hits, including the chart-topping A Good Heart in 1985, which reached number one in the UK, Ireland, Australia and Belgium.
