By 1987, after a period of 
changes and of quite limited musical activity (misinterpreted as ‘non-existence’ by the Spheres’ journalist in the extract below) the Balcony re-emerged as a three-piece, namely, David Palmer (vocals), Mark Cowley (drums) and Steve Powell (guitars). This line-up (featuring session musicians like Joe Mckechnie, Mark Davies, Phil Lucking, Mike Kidson, Martin Green, John Hawkins and Narash) released a much-awaited second single in February 1987.
Redder than Burning Coals (1987)
- Redder than Burning Coals
- Too Late
- Loser
Spheres Magazine #6 (March 1987) wrote about the band:
‘The Balcony have released their first single as a 12” on Pink Pop entitled ‘Redder than Burning Coals’ c/w ‘Losers’ and a track of theirs which is featured in the soundtrack of ‘Letter to Brezhnev’, ‘Too Late’. The Balcony were formed in the summer of ’85 (sic!) by their vocalist David Palmer, along with the other members of the group they have diverse musical influence, and when their collective writing comes together, they deliver nothing short of amazing.
A recent Café Berlin gig provided a chance to witness what The Balcony are up to, including an usual attempt at dancing by an intoxicated David Palmer. […] Their songs cover a wide an area of topics as their influences, including ‘No 1 Jesus Man’ a reference to the Pope by the people of Papua New Guinea to ‘Insane Things’ the only title to explain the famine situation in Africa. ‘A Cover Version’ is another highlight to The Balcony performance, this song is planned as their next single.’
