• Sheena Easton’s first-ever collection of every UK and US single A-side from her hugely successful EMI era - including 7-inch edits, 12-inch extended versions and rare dub mixes - many never before available on CD.
• The 3CD set includes her massive ‘80s international pop hits ‘Morning Train (9 To 5)’, ‘For Your Eyes Only’, ‘Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)’, ‘We’ve Got Tonight’, ‘Strut’, ‘Sugar Walls’ and many more.
• Features eight previously-unreleased tracks including the ‘lost’ 1986 singles ‘Anything Can Happen’ and ‘Sweet Talker’ in their 7-inch and 12-inch versions.
• Top-drawer collaborators including Prince, Kenny Rogers, Nile Rodgers, Christopher Neil, Narada Michael Walden and Shep Pettibone.
Having rocketed to fame in the UK in the early ‘80s, Sheena quickly established herself as an international star, where her genre-crossing approach resulted in her being the only artist in US history to score top three hits in each of Billboard’s main charts: Hot 100, R&B,
This looks amazing!
I agree, that art work alone is everything!
From what I can gather, they were recorded for a scrapped album. They have remained unused and deep in the archives. I have seen some of Cherry Red's proposed tracklists for releases and they go all out and ask for everything and more. Some of it get's denied or can't be found. I think they have worked with Sheena on these and she seems to have been very helpful. With a project manager who is passionate and very knowledgeable of her work, along with the artist help I think these projects will be very special (I haven't seen the tracklist of these in case you ask).
This all sounds quite excellent.
I’m really hoping that we finally get cd quality remixes of So Far So Good - the 8 minute version and the dub version please.
Same here, such a great song.

This is specific to EMI stuff.
No brainer for me! A buy!!!
Really happy with the Sheena tracklisting. Quite a few rarities on there and it will be great to have this song which I've heard over the years on Christmas Day showings of Santa Claus: The Movie, I've always thought it was a lovely song
(with apologies for posting a Christmas song in the middle of a heatwave!)

I think so, from about 1986 I heard.
It was meant to follow on after "So Far So Good". You can hear "Anything Can Happen" on Youtube:
It was recorded and released as a single by Patrice Rushen in 1987.
What an set! Once again, sold!
