The band's line-up consisted of vocalist David Banks, keyboardist Alan Bint, drummer David Everingham - replaced in 1984 by Paul Brook (formerly of Level 42), bassist Andrew Hingley (brother of Tom Hingley of the Inspiral Carpets) and saxophonist Paul Howard.
Following a bidding war, Mummy Calls signed with Geffen Records and issued their self titled debut album in 1986.
The first single from the album, "Beauty Has Her Way", was released to critical acclaim followed by "Let's Go" which received a more lukewarm response.
The band achieved their enduring fame, however, when "Beauty Has Her Way" was used on the multi-million selling soundtrack of vampire film "The Lost Boys" (Joel Schumacher 1987). The song, soundtrack and film still maintain a level of cult status.
A shift in priorities at the band's record label, halted the group's chart rise in both the U.S. and U.K. as promotional dollars were spent on other artists on the roster. The group disbanded in 1987 in order to free themselves from their record contract.
After DisbandmentVocalist David Banks later joined the group Unicorn Jones in 1996 alongside former It Bites members John Beck and Dick Nolan.
David Banks is presently an author and solo artist, living in London, working on a new solo album.
Drummer Paul Brook became an in-demand session drummer, touring and recording with Nick Kershaw, Gary Moore, Greg Lake, Bonnie Tyler, Pino Palladino and The Dream Academy. Brook died May 3, 2007 following a battle with cancer.

I bought this tape back in 1989 & tried to record to MP3 ten years later but the tape was pretty well worn out; so, thanks for uploading this !!!

Maybe it's the way you are, i walked lightly by the stars, when i first came with you, we'd stay out when the nights were blue , i scatter seeds and wait for you, but you don't breathe and there's no seasons. In your desert i will wrap my words around you, simple pleasures come and go but when i've found you Jane i'll kiss you in the desert. Maybe it's the empty sky i walked lightly as the moments died, still drunken - still new, we let go when the day came to. I scattered seeds and wait for you my heart streams and there's no reason. Maybe it's the way you are...
