It was the entire Sunday Love CD that sold for in excess of USD $1000. After I'd already bought my copy, I saw one of these sampler CDs sell for as low as $50 on ebay. It has 8 tracks from Sunday Love: As A Blonde, Don't Let It Go To Your Head, If I Was A Guy, This Is My Life, Scar, Get You Off, Hole, and Strong (which was later released on some soundtrack as Be Strong). I don't know which stores distributed it, as I got my copy off ebay, for somewhere around $100. There was even an in-store album sampler for Sunday Love released by Island Def Jam. This is clearly nowhere near the whole story and I'd be fascinated to know more even if it is, like much of the above, only hearsay and speculation. So for an artist, stuck in the worst of all worlds and stymied by major label woes, this must seem about as cynical and demoralising as it can get for had they binned her just before the album was recorded she could have touted it elsewhere (subject only to some rather less overwhelming issues).
I assume that Island/Universal are simply refusing to grant a licence on the copyright of the recording to anyone else willing to release it. It would appear that even the cover artwork was completed, which I think only adds to the suspicion that it was shelved at the very last possible moment, and here it is. uk still list it but only as available from third parties at the above ridiculous prices.
Or at least that is what I gather happened.Ī few copies almost certainly do exist but the asking price for those I've seen offered for sale is in excess of £500 (very roughly $1050 & €700). Good enough indeed that Island (Universal) went ahead with the recording and production of her second album, Sunday Love, only to then terminate her contract and not release the album either. Yes, it was not huge and that was certainly true here in the UK but I think it was good nonetheless. If you can remember this, her 2003 eponymous début album, then I suspect you do know who. It's about the new album, which is entitled Joy.įefe who? Quite!
