"Get That Love" opened the Close to the Bone campaign for the Thompson Twins in March 1987, the first single from their sixth album. Alannah Currie and Tom Bailey wrote it, and Bailey produced it with Rupert Hine. Record Mirror's Martin Shaw heard a poppy, funky piece weighed down by a ponderous brass interlude.
Britain shrugged, giving it a peak of 66 and just four weeks in the Top 100, but America was kinder and sent it to 31 on the Billboard Hot 100, while MTV kept Andy Morahan's video in medium rotation. The duo also played it on the talk show Wogan, with Geoff Dugmore on drums, Robin Goodfellow on bass and Carrie Booth on keyboards.
