"It's a Fine Day" gave Opus III a major international hit in 1992, and it sits on Mind Fruit, their album from the same year. The song started out as words on a page: a poem that the English poet and musician Edward Barton wrote while living in the Hulme area of Manchester. His girlfriend Jane Lancaster recorded it first, completely unaccompanied, in 1983.
Nine years later, Opus III lifted Barton's poem off the indie margins and turned it into a hit that traveled far beyond them.
