We Too Are One is the seventh studio album by the British pop music duo Eurythmics, released in September 1989. It would be the duo's last studio release for a decade until 1999's Peace.

[edit] 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.

[edit] Home Video release

A companion home video, We Two Are One Too, was released in 1990 and featured the promotional videos for the five singles from the album and other footage of the band performing the album's other tracks. This is actually the only commercial release of the promo video for the 1989 single "Revival", which was never included on any subsequent video compilations from the band.
