Comments:

It's one of those CDs that doesn't immediately grab you but sort of creeps up over time. An excellent cd. (Tim.Cook@Swift.Com)

If you can find this album, grab it. It's not a knock out album, but is quietly charming. I'm not a big fan of soft pop, but this album completely won me over. (Neile)


"Completely My Dear" (two-part single)

Release info:

1992—Sony/Columbia (U.K.)—658279 2

Availability:

Hard to find now even in the U.K.

Ecto priority:

Highly recommended for fans of female pop

Produced by:

Bobby Henry and Jerry Burns

Comments:

I only have the first part of this single, which has the album version of "Completely My Dear", a live version of "Pale Red" from the album, and an otherwise unreleased track, "Just Shine". It was getting this single that made me interested enough in her to keep looking out for the complete album, and to finally ask an English friend to track the album down for me. These three songs were enough to hook me on her voice and style. (Neile)
