Product Description

Digitally remastered two CD set containing a pair of albums from the Pop/Rock vocalist and actress. Ellen Foley gained high public recognition singing the duet with Meat Loaf on the hit single Paradise by the Dashboard Light from the 1977 album Bat out of Hell. Her debut album Night Out was released in 1979. The album was produced by Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson. Foley recorded a memorable duet with Ian Hunter in 1980, We Gotta Get Outta Here. All four members of the Clash appeared on her second album the Spirit of St. Louis in 1981, and Mick Jones and Joe Strummer co-wrote a number of songs for the album. Jones produced the album, which also featured members of the Blockheads, and peaked at #137 on the US charts. The Clash's hit song Should I Stay or Should I Go, written and sung by Jones, was about the turbulent relationship he shared with Foley at the time. This timely release was done in conjunction with Ellen who has provided fascinating insights into the recording of both albums. Lemon.
