Lastly vinyl and this 1982 original release pressing, an album bought for one track, a cover version of the 1963 release by the Searchers of Love Potion No.9 !

As to when this album last hit the platter, I suspect that could well have been more than 30 years ago !

Nevertheless this band released thirteen studio albums across five decades and are still performing live.




Tracklist:
A1. Rendezvous
A2. Lonely At The Top
A3. Letter From L.A.
A4. Paris By Air
A5. Tides

B1. Making Tracks
B2. The Cage
B3. Love Potion No. 9
B4. You Always See What You Want To See
B5. Danger In Paradise
B6. The Actor

Excellent! I would say one of her best; but then they are all good.

Agreed, Mary Black deserves to be far better known. Good choice.
