The Fifth is the fifth studio album by German band Bad Boys Blue.^[1] The record was released on October 29, 1989, by Coconut Records.^[2]

Background

The album includes two singles: "Lady in Black" and "A Train to Nowhere".^[3] Track "No regrets" was originally sung by Edith Piaf as "Non, je ne regrette rien" written by Charles Dumont.
