History
Disc one featured tracks from de Paul's 1975 Jet Records album, Love Bomb including the title song (which was released together with "Sugar Shuffle" in the US, and was covered by the US soul singer Cheryl Lynn on her album In Love), plus two non-album singles ("Rhythm and Blue Jean Baby" backed with "Into My Music" and "If I Don't Get You The Next One Will") plus "You Made Me Write This Song", which was the B-side to the single (and the Love Bomb album track) and has never been released before on CD. Other notable tracks include the single "Hug and Squeeze Me" and the quirky but philosophical song "Season To Season", that de Paul often played on TV shows in the mid 1970s. - outside of Japan, this was the first time that these songs had officially been released. as well as the B-side duet, "You Shouldn't Say That". The follow-up 1977 non-album single, "You Give Me Those Feelings", is also included are some but not all of the songs from the Rupert Holmes produced Tigers and Fireflies album, including "Losin' the Blues For You" and "Melancholy Melon", two songs that were co-written with the US actor James Coburn and the jaunty "Without You", co-written with Mike Moran. Ian Sime writing in "The Press" gave the album a rating of 4 out of 4 stars in a review that also encompassed the Lily Allen album "Sheezus" and he stated "Vocally and arrangements wise, there are very close similarities to the works of Allen and De Paul. Those ethereal overdubbed harmonies are very distinctive, and copied by very few others". The online music magazine "Popshifter" also gave the album a positive review, along with its companion release Sugar and Beyond and mentioned de Paul as the trailblazer for Kate Bush, but also as a pioneer in her own right, since she had critical success and being a woman performing her own songs in an era when this was not common. They state that "the tone of de Paul's music is unique and provides a feminine tone of detachment, sexual agency, wit, and sharp observation, which are things not often seen in mainstream modern cultural ideas of femininity" and concluded "While obviously recognized at the time both by fellow musicians and critics, history is never kind to female artists in male-dominated fields. She is one of the best musicians of her genre and of mainstream British music in general". ==Track listing==
