Foley, Ellen - Spirit Of St. Louis

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON EPIC 1981

Epic EPC 84809 made in Holland with lyric inner sleeve.

Vinyl EX. Cover VG++.

Ellen Foley evidently yearned to do something with more gristle than the rockist sturm und drang of her solo debut, Night Out. She got her wish, although titles like "The Death of the Psychoanalyst of Salvador Dali" surely puzzled fans who heard her breathless guest vocal on "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." Ironically, the press focused more on the assistance rendered by Foley's steady, Clash guitarist Mick Jones (whose production is credited to "my boyfriend"). His other Clash-mates also appear, as do members of Ian Dury's backing band, the Blockheads; this impressive array of talent gives the album a unity it might otherwise lack. Jones and fellow Clash-mate Joe Strummer co-wrote six songs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_Foley
