And a huge part of that is because it's been really tricky to piece together the process at which Bonnie recorded and released this album.

But it's one of my absolute favourites from her discography and might be my favourite of the four RCA albums.

It's a toss-up between that and Natural Force for me.

In this episode, what we're going to do is take a look at the... history of the album the recording process the release what little we have of the critical reception for it as well and a brief look at the transition between Bonnie's RCA and CBS periods but I think we need to start in July 1979, when Bonnie went to the Algarve in Portugal with her managers and producers, Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe, and they started recording the album.

for mixing

and mixed them yeah

Now, one of the big differences is that the previous three albums were recorded in a more traditional setting, especially The World Starts Tonight and Diamond Cup, which were both done in studios in London.

Natural Force was predominantly done at David Mackay's studio on his home property.
