Notes on an album Kirsty's record was produced by Liam Sternberg and arranged in the key of 'B' while Tracey's version was produced by Peter Collins and arranged in the key of 'C'. The idea that the backing tracks from Kirsty MacColl's recording of "They Don't Know" is a fallacy. The arrangements are radically different and the tempo is faster on the latter. MacColl is, however, featured in the background vocals of Tracey's recording. She would also co-produce - with Gavin Povey - the title track from the album as well as
The only MacColl backing track used for a cover by Tracey was on "Terry", a later single.
Tracey can sing!
I never cared much for Tracey's comedy or her show, but, man, can she sing! Who knew? (Well, I guess a lot of people did by now!) The song that enticed me to buy this album was 'They Don't Know. Fun album. ' It's great. .
Best 80s pop album
(I was sad to learn that the album was out of print. This album is so much fun!!! I fell in love with Tracey's "They Don't Know" when I saw the video on VH1 fifteen years ago. ) But, recently, I acquired this great collection and I can't stop listening to it.
Not one song is a filler!
Most songs with have you dancing. My favorites are What a Night, Long Live Love, Bobby's Girl, Breakaway.
Others are very pretty ballads- my favorite is Shattered.
Your Broke My Heart in 17 Places is a wonderful break-up song for a woman who really wants to leave a jerk. Quite possibly one of the most inspiring songs I've heard on the topic. Perfect when you don't want to get too deep.
If you're looking for an awesome 80s album, pick this up NOW!!!.
