Description
After bursting upon the reggae scene in 1980 with her anthemic hit single, ‘I’m So Sorry’, Carroll Thompson cemented her reputation as one of the UK’s brightest new musical talents with her seminal debut album, ‘Hopelessly In Love’, as well as a series of self-produced singles that placed high in the UK reggae charts.
Two years later, she released her eponymously titled second long-player, which reinforced her standing as the new Queen Of Lovers Rock. Featuring such classics as ‘World Of Love’, and ‘Your Love’, the ‘Carroll Thompson’ album at long last receives the deluxe treatment, with the 1982 LP bolstered by eight early 80s bonus tracks, all but one of which are new to CD.
Unavailable on any format for over 15 years, this essential album is further enhanced by fascinating photos from the period and sleeve notes penned by Carroll herself, ensuring this stunning collection is a must for all fans of soulful romantic reggae sounds.
