My copy has a B4 matrix My copy has a B4 matrix
Probably her very best, for Jackie and Troy alone. These are strong intelligent songs considering how old she was then. Music is hilariously 80s- Interestingly, my copy of The Lion and the Cobra's sleeve came stuffed with photocopied news clippings about Sinead and there was a 2-page press release from the record label, so the LP seems to have been given out as a promo copy to the media. And all these years later these various materials survived completely intact -- a little time capsule in an LP!
