Blessings In Disguise - Wild Nights (1989)

Wild Nights, the b-side of Blessings in Disguise’s 1989 single Crying in the Rain, featuring Noddy Holder and Dave Hill from Slade. Blessings in Disguise was Hill’s own solo project. In 1988, Slade had agreed to take an 18-month break, leaving Hill to continue working on his solo work. Crying in the Rain was recorded in 1988 and finished in 1989. It featured Holder on vocals, Hill on guitar, Bill Hunt on keyboards, Craig Fenney on bass and Bob Lamb on drums. Although Polydor Records expressed an interest in releasing the song, first they wanted Slade to re-record it, then they suggested Hill and Holder re-record a new version. Instead, Hill and Holder decided to have the song released on the independent label Mooncrest in November 1989. The song did not generate much radio play, resulting in it failing to chart. Beyond the 1991 single Chance to Be, which did not feature Holder, Hill did not release any further solo material although Holder had contributed to a number of other tracks that
