In the United States, the album peaked in the Billboard 200 at number 178 in 4 weeks on the chart.
GOOD: North of a Miracle is one of those LPs that stand the test of time. Over the years, I've owned seven different copies; it has been several years since I was last without a copy of one sort or another in my collection. Nick's first album from back in 1983 gets a lovingly restored reissue. Published on September 15, 2005.
One track already makes Nick Heyward's first solo LP after leaving Haircut 100 a must-hear. The breezy "Whistle Down the Wind" is among Heyward's most moving songs, a story of unrequited love with a "hello, hello, hope you're feeling fine" chorus that is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Heyward sings the opening lines in a whispery tone, caressing the ears with the sweetness of his voice; when the tempo builds up, the track manages to simultaneously elevate and sadden the listener. Like the Colourfield's Virgins & Philistines, North of a Miracle doesn't seem like a '80s record; its apparent influences - the Beatles, the Walker Brothers, jazz, R&B - are as timeless as the album. Anybody expecting a boyish romp like Haircut 100's "Love Plus One" might be a tad startled. 1 When It Started to Begin Nick Heyward 3:48.

Sound - 8 Ah, Nick Heyward. The next track that follows sounds, oddly like 'Love Plus One'. Or maybe that's just the marimba. Lyrics - 7 Heyward was always one for heartfelt lyrics. Please, my girl, release the story of love' and 'I was so sensitive' show the romantic, sissy side of the singer-songwriter, while the Cyndi Lauper-esque guitar lines makes up for the lyrics that recall a middle school romance.
Nick Heyward’s debut album, ‘North of A Miracle’ was originally released through Arista Records in October 1983.
