Description
・Recording for a second time with the world renowned producer Tony Visconti, Hazel O’Connor’s 1981 album ‘Cover Plus’ was an assured development of both her songwriting and her outsider artistry. Released in September 1981, ‘Cover Plus’ enjoyed a 7 week run in the UK Album chart peaking at No.32. The album combines selected cover versions with her own heartfelt, often autobiographical original songs; together they deliver a powerful personal manifesto and a singular artistic statement of intent. ‘Cover Plus’ was a solid assemblage of the then dominant post-punk and new wave aesthetics, a crossover style that Hazel was very much at the forefront of. Her legions of fans, at this time, were drawn from across a wide spectrum including punks, goths and futurists.
・ This expanded and celebratory re-issue comes with a 20-page illustrated lyric booklet including a new and exclusive introduction written by Hazel herself. Its re-release coincides with a national concert tour across the UK in which Hazel will specifically feature many of the songs from this album.
