Mary Margaret O’Hara ORIG UK LP Miss America VG+ ’88 Virgin Alt Rock
Original UK LP released in 1988 on Virgin Records. Cat: V2559. Comes with printed lyric inner bag which ahs a few light marks and is in Excellent condition.
Originally recorded in 1984 and not released until 1988, Miss America still sounds light years ahead of its time: Mary Margaret O'Hara is a force of nature, a remarkable singer and composer whose crystal-clear soprano acrobatics and hypnotic songs defy accepted conventions. Flirting intermittently with country ("Anew Day," "Dear Darling") and jazz ("Keeping You in Mind"), O'Hara works primarily with pop dynamics, but deconstructs and reassembles the form according to her own blueprint: "Year in Song" is jaggedly intense, "To Cry About" is gorgeously ambient, and "Body's in Trouble" is delicately gripping, yet none conform easily to such facile assessments, with hairpin turns in mood and atmosphere which blindside expectations.
Tracks : To cry about/ Year in song/ Body in trouble/ Dear darling/ A new day/ When youknow why you’re happy/ My friends have/ Help me lift you up/ Keeping you in mind/ Not be alright/ You will be loved again.
