Fiona: Beyond the pale 1986 (Rem)

Special Deluxe Collector"'s Edition / Fully remastered sound shaped from 24 BIT digital technology / Contains two bonus tracks / Features "'You Better Wait"', "'Tragedy"' and "'Thunder & Lightning"' / 16 page full colour booklet - 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork, photos and new interview with Fiona. FIONA"'S SELF TITLED debut album certainly introduced a sensational new talent to the world of femme fronted rock. Her striking looks and gilded vocals made for a fascinating combination, giving her an edge comparable to the anthemic styles of Pat Benatar, Patty Smyth and Heart. The debut album made a sure footed impact, nicely setting up her next long playing foray. For "'Beyond The Pale"', Atlantic Records teamed her up with fast rising production talent Beau Hill, a man who made waves producing a variety of Platinum selling hard rock acts, including Ratt and Winger. This time around, the material was rockier and far more contemporary, without losing any of her rough hewn charm or bonhomie. Originally issued in 1986, the record successfully combined clean cut hi-tech production chops with sizeable blasts of anthemic rock, allowing her distinctive vocals to punch home the choruses like a hot knife through butter. Check out songs such as "'Tragedy"', "'Thunder & Lightning"' and the up tempo "'You Better Wait"', for irrefutable proof.
