"All Come True" comes off Private Revolution, the 1986 debut from World Party, a band that at that point consisted of exactly one man: Karl Wallinger, who wrote this one on his own, words and music. Fresh out of the Waterboys, whom he had left in 1985, Wallinger built the album in his home studio, leaning mostly on a drum machine and his guitar.
The record did borrow a few session hands, Anthony Thistlethwaite, Steve Wickham and Sinéad O'Connor among them, but several of the other names in the credits are Wallinger himself under cheeky aliases, which tells you plenty about the one-man-band spirit of the whole enterprise.
