Background and Release
When it was released in 1989, the album went straight to number one in the UK, where it has since been certified double platinum. It spawned four singles, all of which reached the UK top 30: "Revival", "Don't Ask Me Why", "The King and Queen of America", and "Angel". In the United States, "(My My) Baby's Gonna Cry" was also released as a single but failed to chart.
On 14 November 2005, SonyBMG repackaged and released Eurythmics' back catalog as Deluxe Edition reissues, including We Too Are One. The original track listing was supplemented with bonus tracks and remixes (see below).
Despite the four main singles being reasonably successful, none of them were included on the duo's 2005 "Ultimate Collection" album.

Famous quotes containing the words background and/or release:
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
