BillGates999 Oct 25, 2022
This album surely needs a good remaster! Still her best.
Da_Full_Monty May 23, 2022
Does anyone know the significance/reason for the different covers (one shouting, the other pensive). Seems the UK was the shout and US the pensive?

Anyone who's got this cd and find it very low volume playing?

Matrix variant #1 of this should be moved to http://www.discogs.com/Sinéad-OConnor-The-Lion-And-The-Cobra/release/2933048.

How is this different from http://www.discogs.com/Sinéad-OConnor-The-Lion-And-The-Cobra/release/2933048?
