Mama Said was her first solo hit single but this release came after the Ian Green produced album True Spirit was released. If you haven't heard the album, it's essential soul.

  2. I do have the Dusky Sapho EP somewhere but the album True Spirit made it redundant. This of course, has the bonus tracks.

    Good to hear you're enjoying it, makes me feel like I'm getting somewhere. ;-)
