Description
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 7 week run in the UK Album chart peaking at No.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. •Of her own songs on the album, Hazel writes, “‘Runaway’ is really self- explanatory; it's about my experience running away to Amsterdam at the age of 16. •This expanded and celebratory re-issue comes with a 20-page illustrated lyric booklet including a new and exclusive introduction written by Hazel herself. Its re-release coincides with a national concert tour across the UK in which Hazel will specifically feature many of the songs from this album.
