With their new-found style, they recorded the album Live Free or Die.[12] This was soon followed up in similar style when they recorded Days of Madness,[13] before leaving Virgin Records.[4] Their song I’ll Show You Something Special appeared on the soundtrack for the film, Planes, Trains and Automobiles.[14]Their presence was largely ignored by the time that their 1993 album, Prime Time, had failed to interest record buyers.[3]Table of ContentsMembers[edit]Discography[edit]Albums[edit]EPs[edit]Singles[edit]Compilation albums[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Members[edit]Mark Morris – vocals, bass (1983\u20131989, 1991\u2013present)Jim Morris – guitar, keyboards (1983\u20131989, 1991\u2013present)Des Morris – drums (1983\u20131989, 1991\u2013present)Karen Morris – keyboards (2019\u2013present)Chris P Notes (Chris Williams) – keyboards (1994\u20132019)Ian McKean – guitar (1988\u20131989, 1991\u20131994)Discography[edit]Albums[edit]Date of releaseAlbum Title1985Sun Family1987The Greatest Story Ever Told1988Live Free or Die1989Days of Madness1991No More Innocence1993Prime Time2019That’s Not The Real WorldEPs[edit]Date of releaseEP Title1984World of Light1985Love Me1985Day and Night1986Light of the World1986She Knows UK No.\u00a070[7]1986Slow Down1991No More InnocenceSingles[edit]Date of releaseSingle Title1987New Kind of Love1987I’ll Show You Something Special1987I Love The Things You Do to Me1988Live Free or Die (Texas Redbeard Mix)1989I Took a Little1990A Little Bit of Love1993Shame on YouCompilation albums[edit]Date of releaseCompilation Title1987Young Virgins (featuring “Light of the World”.)2002Sun FamilySee also[edit]References[edit]^ “MusicMight\u00a0:: Artists\u00a0:: BALAAM AND THE ANGEL”. 24 February 2015.
