Music and Recording
The album includes a duet with the German singer Nico, titled "Your Kisses Burn", which was recorded shortly before her death. Almond also duets with Agnes Bernelle on the track "Kept Boy", and also with U.S. singer Gene Pitney as they perform Pitney's 1967 hit "Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart". This version became a UK number one hit in early 1989 and was the sixth best-selling single of that year.
Original CD and LP editions of the album did not feature Almond's duet with Gene Pitney on "Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart". After the success of the single the duet was appended to CD versions and appeared in-place of the original solo version on some LP versions.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or recording:
“When in our music God is glorified,
and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried Alleluia!”
—Frederick Pratt Green (b. 1903)
“He shall not die, by G—, cried my uncle Toby.
MThe ACCUSING SPIRIT which flew up to heaven’s chancery with the oath, blush’d as he gave it in;—and the RECORDING ANGEL as he wrote it down, dropp’d a tear upon the word, and blotted it out for ever.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
