Used copies of this are going for very high prices. Since it's actually an EP, at least on vinyl (six tracks clocking in at ~23 minutes), I will skip it at 7 (B+), although it would be nice to have all 4 of their Nighthawk releases. The CD version adds the track "Jamaican Style & Dub," perhaps so that it could be nominated for a Grammy for Best Reggae Recording, which it was, although it did not win.
:-) [Might be a 7 (B+), but I'm not going to sweat the distinction because it's # [live] anyway.]
:-) [Listens well, but I started to agree with one Amazon reviewer that after awhile it all starts to sound like one song. Track "100,000 Remords" is fantastic though.]
All three of the albums to which Christgau/Hull gave an A- are 7.5 (high B+) and #r&b to me. [De-shelved in 2020]
Christgau pretty obviously gave this an A to up his "female record" count. Also his "pop" count.
I confess I'm irritated by her vocalizations. I generally give her two notches below Christgau and Hull, which means My Life is an 8 (A-). [De-shelved in 2020]
"Nag Nag Nag" is obviously a classic track.
Mixtape re: Paul's Boutique. No physicals. Another item of interest with respect to PB: Paul's Boutique: A Visual Companion.
Four plays. A third of the 15 songs are on I Make a Wish for a Potato – more than any other album, with Too Much Fun second at four songs.
