Remaster Notes:
Many thanks to Zizi for sharing this here with us.
HUGE thanks to Eric for the amazing artwork.
Arrived as one WAV file.
Spek reports lossy @ 192kbps so that is what is offered here.
Needed lots of restoration, had this (very) annoying "ting" noise going on.
Managed to sort it out but couldn't push it dynamically with much remastering.
So this is mainly a restoration effort.
Doesn't help matters being so lossy in source.
It sounds umhhh... okay for what it is, 
may be just for hardcore fans, more than the casual listener.
Some notes below I found on the web that I thought you might be interested in.
Enjoy...

Wendy James:
Nick wrote Baby I Don’t Care about my best friend who he was rather taken with. 
I think it was his way of telling her that she didn’t have to love him in return 
because he loved her anyway. 
Verse two – “You can tell me all your stories but spare me the plays” – 
is a reference to her aspirations to be an actor. 
Some years later, she took her life: the song is particularly moving now.

Zeus B Held, producer:
I sent the rest of the band home so I could work on the vocals with Wendy alone. 
It was obvious that she was new to this, but you can hear her energy, 
soul and passion on the record.
The famous scream at the beginning was an accident. 
Luckily, I always turn the record button on 20 seconds before a track starts, 
and she just let out this huge scream just to loosen up her voice, 
like a boxer entering the ring. 
I remember the engineer and I looking at each other and going “That’s great!” 
We asked her to do a few more but her initial roar had something raw, 
so that’s the one we used. 
Pop songs don’t normally start with a scream. 
I don’t think Madonna did that.

Remaster Notes:
HUGE thanks to Zizi for the lovely artwork, much appreciated.
Have included MP3 samples so you can listen first before you decide if you want this or not. 
Many thanks to Soundsville & DavidA for sharing, much appreciated.
Great recording.
This has been restored (some hiss remains), 
remastered & speed adjusted on a track by track basis.
Took hours on this one, tweaking the speeds etc to get it right.
Ironed out quite a few level drops on this as well as other little tweaks here & there.
Sounds splendid, time well spent.
The songs as listed with this & at PJLM are incorrect.
They are now in there correct order.
This is the only time I can remember that PJLM was wrong, 
so much data to sort, does such an amazing job,
and has given us a brilliant website for information, praise to Stephane!
The biggest issue for many will be the tape hiss, 
I used as much as I dared without squashing all the dynamics.
If you can live with that then this will be a repeat play.
Stay handsome & enjoy...
