前の年からperfectがhitして、peter baracanさんがラジオで発売前から3曲くらいかけていて本当に素晴らしいと感じていた。今は街のもっと中心部に移転してしまった外資系のrecord shopで、生まれて初めて待ち望んで買ったアルバム。1988年、僕は高校生。刺々しい心をeddi readerの声がやさしく包んでくれた。その年のX’masの頃、大好きだった女の子にどうしてもこれを聴いてほしいと思った。照れくさくて彼女の自転車のかごの中に入れた。その後、今となっては短い間だったけれど、確かに僕たちは心が震えるほどに愛し合っていた。だけど、彼女からこのアルバムの感想を聴いていない。それを今思い出した。eddi readerの声を聴くたびに、彼女を思い出す。この間、eddi readerの新しいソロアルバムが出た。20年経っても変わらない。素晴らしい音楽と優しい歌声だ。Aちゃんの心も、きっと今もやわらかい情熱であふれているはずだ。

10年ぶりに聞いてもすばらしかった。！！ボーカルは無論、BASSLINE がかなり、曲のスパイスになっています。
