She may not have had a “voice” but she sure had a presence, her records are so much fun…
lack of a ‘voice’ is no barrier to being a pop star LOL
fab post mr !
i had this and somehow deleted it – i dunno –
weren’t Manic Monday n a few others ‘gonna’ be Vanity / Apolonia tracks
at one time – no?
Yes, Manic Monday was at one time looked at to be a “6″ group track, there are even some demos floating around on bootlegs out there.
Hi, I don’t wanna be ungrateful but the filetags state that the first three tracks are from the album Mover. So it seems that this is not a original 12 inch rip. Is this correct?
No, just poor tag management on my part. “Mover” is the folder that the files were in when they were converted from wav to flac/mp3. Evidently, I didn’t have dbPoweramp set to strip the tags and it auto tagged based on file/folder names. You can be assured these files were ripped and cleaned by me from my original 12″.
Thanks for the explantation. And for the releases as well of course

did Vanity do a song called “7th Heaven” from the soundtrack to “The Last Dragon” and was it released as a single and do you have it please, This is a Great Website great music
That song did appear on that soundtrack but, I am not aware of a single release for that track. Thanks for the compliments.
Best Vanity-Song…
