Sanctuary (The Passions album)

Sanctuary is the third and last album by English post-punk/new wave band The Passions, released on 18 September 1982 by Polydor Records.

The album was originally called "Cars Driven Fast" after the song on the album and artwork had been designed for it. However, the name was changed after the involvement of Cairo Management. The original title and artwork was used in some areas of Europe.

The album was reissued on CD in November 2019 by Rubellan Remasters and included 9 bonus tracks, the first 5 were A-side and B-side non-album singles and the other 4 were live recordings of other songs by The Passions, including their best-known song "I'm in Love with a German Film Star".
