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, music and/or recording:
“... the majority of colored men do not yet think it worth while that women aspire to higher education.... The three R’s, a little music and a good deal of dancing, a first rate dress-maker and a bottle of magnolia balm, are quite enough generally to render charming any woman possessed of tact and the capacity for worshipping masculinity.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you—like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist—or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Write while the heat is in you.... The writer who postpones the recording of his thoughts uses an iron which has cooled to burn a hole with. He cannot inflame the minds of his audience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
