        perfect sound, even after so many years. Vinyl keeps the shape. Enjoying the 'sound of music'

          An absolute production masterpiece at the end of the new romantic era. This was put out at the time when many lesser outfits were doing remix albums to genre jack their way into the charts. This is also Oleta Adams doing what she does best. A brilliantly dynamic record.
