Wow - that's one of the exclamations I muttered to myself when I finally found copies of this 1988 release by MAGGIE BELL to buy. This album is one of the hardest to find CD's and albums, with the main reason being that it was only released in West Germany. And it's on a small label, fittingly called Cult Records, manufactured by Bellaphon. I found a copy each on vinyl and on CD. The graphics on the album are more stunning than on the CD, and also the album has a great photo in color on the back, whereas it's B&W on the inside CD insert. Release date was May 1988, but it was not even released in the UK, Maggie's home country or the US. The album's release and what it sounds like have been almost shrouded in mystery. Maggie has only said that she did the songs on this album as demos for a German producer, and she was surprised to see that it was released. Both the vinyl and the CD releases do not even give songwriting credits, and just say Copyright Control! All of this makes you wonder what this whole project sounds like. Well, this album is actually very, very good.
