Sometimes buying records involves a little luck as well as knowledge. I didn't recognise the sleeve of this single, a Princess release from 1986. But when I looked at my collection, of course, I already had a single called In the heat of a passionate moment. That one was the German release, featuring a remixed version of the single.
But this is the original single! And it doesn't contain the remix, but the original version. It sounds very much like a Stock/Aitken/Waterman production, like all of their output circa 1986. And a worthy addition to my singles collection.
My collection: 7" single no. 5865
Found: Moses Records, Vienna, September 27, 2017
Cost: 1 euro
Tracks: 'In the heat of a passionate moment' / 'In the heat of a passionate moment (Garage mix)'

The single reached number 74 in the UK singles chart, which meant that it was her least succesful single up to that point.

Released in 1985 as the follow-up to her most successful single 'Say I'm your number one', it reached number 28 in the UK singles chart and number 24 in the Dutch Top 40.

I wish you love - Princess

'I wish you love' was taken from her 1987 album 'All for love'. It didn't chart, however. It was probably too different for the general public.

I cannot carry on - Princess

'I cannot carry on' was released as the second single from the album, but it didn't reach the UK singles chart. It's a shame, because it's a ballsy, almost rock-oriented dance track. The single was let down by the B-side, which quite frankly is drivel.

It was the last time that Princess would grace the UK singles chart, reaching number 58 in the summer of 1987. This single was a limited edition, pressed on - how appropriate - red vinyl.

The sleeve of this single is in black and white, which is different from the 12" picture disc. Like the 12" single, there are two versions on this single: the regular album version and an instrumental version.

Say I'm your no. 1 - Princess

I didn't like the song when it came out; Princess looked ridiculous in that hat and it dominated my view of the artist and the song at first. In hindsight, I liked it better, and in the end I caved and bought it.
My collection: 7" single no. 1760

Princess was one of many faces who were a success in the heydays of Stock/Aitken/Waterman. This single, released in April 1986, was her biggest hit since her debut 'Say I'm your number one', reaching no. 16 in the UK singles chart.
