Helen Shapiro - Face The Music The Complete Singles 1967-1984 [2020]

Most of Helen's early hits can be found on at least one CD. But in "Face The Music" Ace brings you the first-ever compilation to pull together the complete A and B sides of every seven-inch single Helen released under her own name between 1967 and 1984, with repertoire drawn from five different labels. "Face The Music" comes to you with the full approval and endorsement of Helen and John, her husband of more than 30 years. A sleeve notes featuring a specially conducted 2020 'lockdown' interview with the artist provides Helen's own thoughts on both these recordings and this period in her 40+ year career. All tracks appear here in their original mono and stereo single mixes, just as they were released on 45. Around a third of the titles have never been reissued before, in any format. With a booklet stuffed with the usual plethora of ephemera, labels and rare foreign picture sleeves, it's something no Shapiro fan will want to miss. (Amazon)

  2. Thanks
    Did you know Amy Winehouse was her grand daughter? Just kidding.
    Whenever I saw Amy I was reminded of Helen.
    You know that Helen toured with the Beatles back in the day.
    That deep dark voice, she was good.

    1. Hi lemonflag.
      I like your description - deep dark voice.
      I always raise my head whenever I hear her voice. Great sound.

      Cheers.

  3. Thank you for all you do.

    Looked up Helen Shapiro and the Beatles, and found this amazing fact: In the Feb-Mar 1963 tour, "The Beatles were fourth on an eleven-act bill headed by 16-year-old Londoner, Helen Shapiro."

    Helen Shapiro was leading the bill at age 16? The Beatles were fourth on the bill? There were eleven acts in the same show?

    Such a different era. Thanks, BB.

  5. In 1987 she became a Messianic Jew, and was still singing in 2021 with her evangelical group, a trio called Hebron, under the Manna Music label.
