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:
“His style is eminently colloquial, and no wonder it is strange to meet with in a book. It is not literary or classical; it has not the music of poetry, nor the pomp of philosophy, but the rhythms and cadences of conversation endlessly repeated.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft. You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.”
—Jessie Tarbox Beals (1870–1942)
