Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

A cool, reggae-and-new-wave-tinged art-disco peak, home to 'Pull Up to the Bumper'. Striking and acclaimed. Her finest. A single-entry catalogue presence, but the entry is strong.

On vinyl: Many '80s records have had strong reissue programmes — check for a recently mastered version.
