Different Light is an album by The Bangles released in January 1986. It is their best known album, with a Top 5 hit single and a No. 1 hit. The album’s Top 40 sound was a departure from their earlier 60s style sound. This was the first album in which bassist Michael Steele sings lead vocals on some tracks. Three of five singles were written by someone other than the Bangles: ‘Manic Monday’ (written by Prince under the pseudonym Christopher), ‘If She Knew What She Wants’ and ‘Walk Like An Egyptian’. The other two singles were ‘Following’ and ‘Walking Down Your Street’. This reissue contains a whole bonus disc of rare b-sides some appearing for the first time on CD and the booklet is packed with rare covers and a note by Mojo’s Daryl Easlea
