MlCK J@GGER - SHE'S THE B0SS (1985)

By 1984, Growing tensions within the Rolling Stones led many to believe the band would split for good. Therefor it came as no surprise in 1985 when Mick Jagger released his first solo album. What was a surprise was how different it was to the style we were accustomed to hearing from Mick with the Stones. Mick called upon various musician friends such as Pete Townshend, Jeff Beck, Carlos Alomar and Herbie Hancock to help in the studio and he co-produced the album with Bill Laswell and Nile Rogers. The end result was a mid 80's Rock/Pop album that the fans loved. The first Single 'Just Another Night' soared up the charts worldwide, and the album was an instant top 10 hit. Two more successful singles ('Lucky In Love' and 'Hard Woman') soon followed.

Thankfully The Stones resolved their differences over the following years, and kept recording and touring together, and in between Stones albums Mick has since released 3 more solo albums and a greatest hits compilation.

PRlNCESS - PRlNCESS (1986/2009) REM@STERED & EXP@NDED

After being Out Of Print for many years, the Debut album from 'Princess', was finally Remastered and reissued on CD in 2009. This album was another Stock Aitken Waterman production from the mid 80's. They seemed to have the Midas touch, as pretty much everything they produced became a hit - this album is no different.  The hit single 'Say I'm Your Number One' soared up the charts around the world and this album followed. In the UK she had several hits from this album, but none of them charted as high as 'Say I'm Your No.1'. If you love the Stock Aitken Waterman material from that era, you will love this album.

  This is the 2009 Expanded Remaster.  Cherry Red have added 7 Bonus tracks to the album, but in doing so they have drastically shortened 3 album tracks to fit everything on 1 CD.  Many fans were annoyed by this, so I have added the Full Length versions from the original CD release as Bonus tracks on the end.

In The Heat Of A Passionate Moment (3:34)
I'll Keep On Loving You (4:05)

THE W@lTRESSES - THE BEST 0F (1990)

Post Punk, New Wave band 'The Waitresses' are probably best known for their hit 'I Know What Boys Like' in 1981. They only released 2 albums, and this compilation brings together the best of them both, plus 2 non album tracks. The first is the theme tune to the TV show 'Square Pegs', the other being 'Christmas Wrapping'. Neither of their albums are available on CD, so this Compilation is a great way to get most of the tracks from those albums in CD Quality.

Wise Up
Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful?
