I had to look this up, as I remembered the soundtrack from watching the film (in an English Literature lesson - how cool is that?) but knew I could be wrong - it's a long time ago now....

In September 1984, Eurythmics were approached by Virgin Films and asked if they would be willing to record the soundtrack to Michael Radford's Interpretation of George's Orwell '1984'.
