I picked this as it is a rather different style of music than the previous selections and is a recording that should appeal to audiophiles.
Very successfull album in it's day but now rather neglected. Contains 'Stay With Me Till Dawn' the only Judie Tzuke track that's ever played on radio unless you listen to Bob Harris.
This like the 'Dire Straits' album was a success against the background of New Wave and Disco music popular at the time. An excellent recording that makes the most of multitracking and lush orchestrations to produce complex sound textures. The song writing by Tzuke and Paxton is also consistent. An album with hardly any filler. This one should have had an audiophile release but was beset by licencing problems through the years.
The original LP release was on Elton John's Rocket Record Company label (Train 7) and I believe there was a later CD release before going out of print for some years. There are plenty vinyl copies for sale on ebay.
It has been available again on CD exclusively through JT's Big Moon web site for nearly 10 years but a new release on the Wrasse label can be purchases on Amazon and I presume any brick and mortar stores still existing. In fact Judie is a bit of a pioneer in managing her music via the net having her own studio and releasing all new material this way since 1996.
I think this one may be another that divides opinion.
