It sits on the album where everything broke open for the pair. The Innocents made them stars at home, gave them their American breakthrough on the back of heavy MTV exposure, and kicked off a run of UK chart-topping albums. For its 21st anniversary it was remastered and reissued, and the book packed with the limited edition has Clarke and Bell looking back on every song.
