DEMON
Kim Wilde - Close *Picture Disc* Kim Wilde
Demon Records are delighted to announce the next reissue from Kim Wilde's classic MCA years on LP again for the first time in more than 35 years. 'Close' was Kim's sixth studio album, originally released in June 1988. It includes five UK Top 40 singles including 'You Came' (No. 3 and US No. 41), 'Four Letter Word' (No. 6), 'Never Trust a Stranger' (No. 7), 'Hey Mister Heartache' (No. 31), and 'Love in the Natural Way' (No. 32). This reissue includes the bonus tracks 'Tell Me Where You Are', originally the B-Side of 'Hey Mister Heartache', and the 7-inch edit of Shep Pettibone's remix of 'You Came'. Kim's growing confidence as a songwriter saw her name attached to all but two of the ten songs that originally appeared on the album - 'Four Letter Word' (by Marty and Ricki Wilde), and a cover of Todd Rundgren's ballad 'Lucky Guy' were the only tracks that didn't give Kim a co-writing credit. Junior Giscombe returned to add backing vocals to the funky 'Hey Mister Heartache', while Bias Boshell, writer of Kiki Dee's '74 hit 'I've Got the Music in Me', was drafted in to add keyboards to 'Lucky Guy'. Once again, Ricky Wilde was behind the production desk, where he shared the task with Tony Swain; his significant success in the '80s saw him work with Imagination on 'Body Talk', Spandau Ballet on 'True', Alison Moyet on 'Love Resurrection', and Bananarama on 'Cruel Summer' - contemporary reviews drew comparisons with his work here, and his previous output with Keren, Sara, and Siobhan.
