“Do You Wanna Hold Me?” by Bow Wow Wow

"Do You Wanna Hold Me?" turned up in 1983 on When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going, the English new wave band Bow Wow Wow's second studio album, issued by RCA with Mike Chapman in the producer's seat. The songwriting credit is shared four ways, among Annabella Lwin, Matthew Ashman, Leigh Gorman and Dave Barbarossa.

It was also the end of the line for the original lineup: this was the last album with all four founding members aboard. The record wore a little grief on its sleeve, too. David Bailey took the cover photograph, and the sleeve credits sent "a kiss" to the late James Honeyman-Scott and John Belushi, both lost shortly before.
