Top 2 albums are longtime favourites. Still have the CDs I bought while in high school, although I don't play them much because there's too many good and bad memories attached to them.

Fans of Strawberry Switchblade should check out that Rose McDowall album. Some of those tracks were supposed to be on the second Strawberry Switchblade album but they obviously split up. Amazing pop music recorded between 1986 and 1988.
