Fairground Attraction - The First Of A Million Kisses

CD reissue. First Of A Million Kisses is in every way outstanding and deservedly went platinum. The musical style is a subtle blend of skiffle, gentle rock, Celtic, folk, Cajun-type rhythms, and especially trad-jazz. Most of the material was composed by Mark Nevin, the guitarist and chief creative force and what you hear and up-front is the magical, extraordinary and powerful vocals of Eddi Reader. She has a range that would put an opera diva to shame and a style that seems to come from a fusion of jazz, blues and Celtic tones, a voice like that of an angel. This debut album features the number one single, 'Perfect' and the singles 'Find My Love', 'A Smile In A Whisper' and 'Clare'.
