Kim Wilde

I have all of the Cherry records re releases of Kim's albums and I think they are all very well done.The artwork on this particular album is excellent and the song lyrics are included. This album is arguably Kim's finest, being her debut album and featuring her most well known and debut hit 'Kids in America' it is/was her most important album release. I was only 2 when Kim Wilde first appeared on the music scene, my Dad bought her records and I've grown up with it. I own or have owned (pinched from my Dad) pretty much every Kim Wilde album or single release on CD, Vinyl and cassette at some point during my life. I will say that this album to me sounds very fresh today and the theme here is slightly edgy/rocky compared to Kim's later releases.The Cherry records remastering sounds good and better than I remember the original version. This album Played on my Sony/NAD/B&W separates system sounds much fuller and warmer than the same tracks on Kim's 1981-1993 Singles Collection album which to me sounds a little thin and lacking some vitality in direct comparison.The stand out tracks for me on this album are 'Water on Glass', 'Chequered Love', '2-6-5-8-0', 'You'll Never Be So Wrong' and of course the all to famous 'Kids In America'.It all sounds, bright, bouncy, edgy and very catchy!If you're a Kim Wilde fan you must own this her first and possibly most important album. The added bonus tracks, and CD Text facility (if your CD player supports it) from Cherry pop are also nice touches!Just buy it!

To me this is a perfect debut album, obviously the singles are major highlights but there are plenty more tracks here which standout.Although not born until '83 and not really too aware of Kim's music until maybe five or six years ago I've thoroughly enjoyed delving into her back catalogue. Unlike with some music of the 80's most of Kim's music/albums still sound pretty fresh and it was clear that her father and brother were focused on writing strong lyrics with catchy melodies instead of just gimmicky throwaway pop.Cherry Pop have done a very impressive re-issue here, in my opinion, and everything sounds fresh and 'as it should be'.

This album is wonderful and it introduced the world to Kim Wilde back in 1981 with the sensational lead single 'Kids In America' the new remastered edition is amazing the bonus tracks are great and the sound quality is outstanding I love the song 'Tuning In, Tuning On' which was the B-Side to 'Kids In America' infact I adore every song on the album.
