Rare 1988 Original With Shrink Still Intact. Custom Hype Sticker On The Shrink Wrap. “Kim Wilde's Sixth Album Is The First Since The Commercially Viable But Artistically Weak Artistic Makeover That Began With 1984's Teases And Dares To Approach The Quality Of Her First Three Albums. For The First Time In Three Albums, Wilde Sounds As If She's Comfortable With The Music She's Making; That This Music Is Clearly Inspired By The Chart Success Of The Stock-Aitken-Waterman Production Team, Then Having Enormous Hits With Bananarama, Kylie Minogue And Others, Might Seems A Little Calculated, But It Must Be Said: Stock, Aitken & Waterman Had Huge Hits Because They Made Unapologetically Catchy, Uncomplicated Pop Singles, And That's Never A Bad Thing. Toning Down The Hi-NRG Disco Sound Of Her Two Previous Albums, Wilde Moves Into A Dance-Pop Style That Suits Both The Songs And Her Voice Better. The Production Is Handled By Ricky Wilde And Tony Swain (Who Had Co-Produced Bananarama's Early Records), And Although It's Still Slick, The Album Isn't Nearly As Antiseptic As Another Step Or Teases And Dares. The Singles "You Came" And "Hey Mr. Heartache" Are Much Improved (Both Were U.K. Hits, Although The Album Didn't Generate Much Heat In The U.S.) Over Wilde's Recent Chart Efforts, And Album Tracks Like "Four-Letter Word" And "European Soul" Sound Like The Singer's Having Fun For The First Time In A While.” – Stewart Mason, All Music Guide

Kim Wilde
New - Vinyl - ST 17065
Sealed 1981 Orginal. “Daughter Of Pre-Beatles British Teen Idol Marty Wilde And Sister Of Auteur Ricky (Aka Ricki) Wilde, The Pouty, Adorable Kim Wilde Turned Out To Be A Reasonably Talented Pop Singer Herself. A Bit Older Than She Looked — She Was 20 When Her Debut (And Enduring International Claim To Fame) Single, "Kids In America," Hit The Charts — She Benefited Greatly From A Combination Of Nubile Sex Appeal, New Wave Pep And Her Family's Commercial Savvy (Not To Mention Connections). The Songs On Kim Wilde, Which Father And Son Wrote And Son Produced, Focus Thematically On Youth, Which Works For Kim's Image But Launches Her A Bit Closer To Featherweight Bubblegum Than One Would Think Prudent For A Carefully Calculated Record For A British Teen Market Already Set On The Likes Of Adam Ant, The Jam And Duran Duran. "Kids In America," "Chequered Love" And "Water On Glass" Are, Nonetheless, Wonderful Confections.” – Ira Robbins, Trouserpress.Com

Kim Wilde
Used - Vinyl - ST-17065
1982 US original Los Angeles pressing with EMI poly inner sleeve. "Kim Wilde's debut album is seemingly dwarfed by her first hit single, "Kids in America." Merging punk attitude with gleaming synths, the power pop anthem is a galvanizing call to arms delivered in breathless style by Wilde and one of the defining songs of the new wave era. It's wrong to dismiss the rest of the record, though, because it's one of the strongest, most entertaining new wave albums of the early '80s. More cohesive than a Blondie album and nearly as peppy as the Go-Go's debut, Kim Wilde is filled with fist-pumping rockers ("Chequered Love," "Our Town"), energetic reggae knock-offs ("2-6-5-8-0"), epically melancholy ballads ("You'll Never Be So Wrong"), and whip-smart modern pop songs ("Water on Glass," "Falling Out") that zoom by in a rush of hairspray, cheesy synths, and background chants. Wilde's vocals are the star; she delivers exactly what each song needs, whether it's blasé detachment ("Tuning In, Tuning Out"), delicate crooning ("Everything We Know"), or rousing joyfulness ("Kids in America"). The record is a Wilde family production with her '50s pop-star dad Marty on lyrics and her glam rock brother Ricky providing the music and sounds. He balances things nicely between artful, punky noise and factory-fresh synths, getting a punchy, light, and fun sound that's built to blare out of radios as loudly as possible. Kim Wilde is new wave at the genre's absolute finest; it's fun, it's a little weird, and it's anchored by songs that nod to the past while blasting headlong into the future. Dismiss Kim Wilde as a one-hit wonder or sleep on Kim Wilde at your own risk -- you just might miss out on some of the best tunes of the early '80s if you do." All Music Guide – Tim Sendra
