SHANIA TWAIN

For the first time on vinyl, this album is the collection of early recordings by the Country/Pop/Rock superstar. The album was recorded a few years before her commercial breakthrough.
Eilleen "Shania" Twain is a Canadian singer and songwriter. She has sold over 100 million records, making her the best-selling female artist in country music history and among the best-selling music artists of all time.
Collection of demos a then-unknown Shania Twain recorded in the late 1980s and early 1990s for Canadian label Limelight Records. Written in collaboration with Los Angeles producer Paul Sabu, the songs here are not Country music, but rather well-crafted, energetically performed Pop/Rock fare.
Though the production is often dated (particularly on the cruise-ship-dance-party-sounding “For the Love of Him” and the Laura Branigan-esque “It’s Alright), the tracks definitely offer repeated glimpses of Twain’s superstar potential. There are even a few Country-tinged numbers (“Bite My Lip”, “Luv Eyes”) that presage Twain and Mutt Lange’s multi-platinum Nashville/Arena Rock hybrids.
From 1999 onwards, demo recordings Shania Twain made for Limelight Records approximately ten years prior were licensed to a number of budget labels internationally and released under various titles, artwork and track order, sometimes including one or two dance mixes.
Though recordings contained herein have been made available in several other forms, this package goes the extra mile by offering both the original recordings and significantly re-mixed/remastered versions on two different discs.
Limited Edition 180 g Red Marble Vinyl in gatefold cover features lost photos, poster, restored liner notes and lyric sheet.
Renaissance Records, 2023 (RDEG-LP-0500). Made in Austria. Pressed in Czech.
