Carroll Thompson - Hopelessly in Love

Doulbe vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition of this 1981 debut from this Regga vocalist. Hopelessly in Love is a landmark in the history of reggae music and British lovers rock. Thompson had enjoyed early success with the Leonard Chin-produced singles I'm So Sorry and Simply in Love, which rose to the top of the reggae charts in 1981. The same year Thompson released the album Hopelessly in Love, through her own production company. The cover design, featuring a classic snapshot of Thompson sitting on a car bonnet in Harlesden, north-west London, came to epitomize Lovers Rock style and attitude.
