Popis:

• Fantastic 3CD digipack collection that brings together Mari Wilson’s best loved material from her time signed to the Compact Organization spanning her studio album and 10 single releases over the period of 1980-85. • Features a 24-page booklet with sleeve notes written by Mari Wilson and a UK discography, together with previously unseen photos. The newly designed front cover uses an iconic photograph taken by Adrian Boot.

Mari Wilson (The Neasden Queen Of Soul) first arrived on the scene in the early 80s with her skyscraper beehive, a bizarre sense of fashion and fully choreographed 12-piece band The Wilsations. Mariʼs live shows were an event – pure entertainment. In 1982, Mariʼs records began entering the charts and she soon had six hit singles, the biggest being ʻJust What Iʼve Always Wantedʼ and ʻCry Me A Riverʼ, both taken from her album ʻShowpeopleʼ.
