Immunity, Rupert Hine's 1981 album for A&M, finds the English producer, whose credits run from Rush to Tina Turner and the Fixx, stepping out front with a record of his own. It sits between Unfinished Picture and Waving Not Drowning in his catalog, and it's synth-pop of the chilly, clenched variety, all nervy electronics and a voice that sounds like it's peering over its shoulder.

Marianne Faithfull turns up for a brief chorus on "Misplaced Love", the album was dedicated to Liam Byrne, and "(I Hang On To My) Vertigo" is the track that surfaced on the countdowns. It got a digital remaster and a reissue in 2001.
