    Another Dixons brand was Prinzsound - I had a portable cassette recorder made by them, bought in 1976 (I wonder what that would be in today's money). It no doubt sounded shit and ate batteries like a good 'un. The only tapes I had for it were Autobahn album and Temptations greatest hits.

    Next spin.

    I have a couple of her albums, both pretty good. I don't have that one though. She burned quite brightly in the 90s with Professional Widow and Cornflake Girl, then dropped off my radar.

    Just ordered a copy of this, not least because it has Professional Widow on it, and my single disappeared years ago. In the meantime, putting this on:

    Just be aware that unless it’s the “Deluxe” version of Boys for Pele “Professional Widow” is just the plain version on the original CD, not the dance version(s) of the single you’ve lost. A great album, though.

    Bugger. Still be worth having though, and it was only 3 quid. I got caught out with the last recommendation from you Alex (Layo & Bushwacka "Night Works") - it didn't have the full vocal version of "Love Story". So then I bought the single, but still didn't have the version I was after, I should have gone for "Love Story vs. Finally" Silly me. Still, the rest of the album is one of the very best EDM albums around I think. So all in all, mustn't grumble
