Description:
Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Recording for a second time with the world-renowned producer Tony Visconti, who had also produced her career defining Breaking Glass soundtrack album a year earlier, Hazel O'Connor's 1981 album Cover Plus was an assured development of both her songwriting and her outsider artistry. Released in September 1981, Cover Plus enjoyed a seven week run in the UK Album chart peaking at #32. The album combines selected cover versions with her own heartfelt, often autobiographical original songs; together they deliver a powerful personal manifesto and a singular artistic statement of intent. Cover Plus was a solid assemblage of the then dominant post-punk and new wave aesthetics, a crossover style that Hazel was very much at the forefront of. Her legions of fans, at this time, were drawn from across a wide spectrum including punks, goths and futurists. The album contains three powerful cover versions; the Stranglers' 'Hanging Around', a powerful story-telling song that Hazel imbues with her own invigorating nuances, an inspired and surprising gender switch re-reading of Jim Webb's 'Do What You Gotta Do' and a faithful rendering of Lou Reed's 'Men Of Good Fortune'. This expanded and celebratory reissue comes with a 20-page illustrated lyric booklet including a new and exclusive introduction written by Hazel herself.
"Cover Plus (Expanded Edition)" is a special reissue of Hazel O'Connor's acclaimed 1981 album, now available in CD format. This expanded edition features remastered tracks and bonus material, offering both longtime fans and new listeners an enhanced experience of O'Connor?s distinctive blend of post-punk and new wave sounds. The album includes standout songs like "That's Life," "Ee-I-Adio," and the powerful title track "Cover Plus." Known for her emotive vocals and thought-provoking lyrics, Hazel O?Connor rose to fame with her role in the film "Breaking Glass" (1980) and its successful soundtrack, which produced hits such as "Eighth Day" and established her as a leading figure in early '80s British music. Cherry Red Records, the label behind this release, is renowned for its dedication to preserving classic albums across genres?especially punk, new wave, indie rock?and has been instrumental since 1978 in bringing influential artists back into the spotlight through high-quality reissues.
