Sheena Easton

Strut - The Complete EMI Recordings Vol. II picks up where its predecessor Modern Girl left off, following the same structure: most of the discs offer expanded and slightly altered programs covering the albums A Private Heaven (1984), Do You (1985), and No Sound But a Heart (1987). The inclusions of alternate versions or mixes in place of or beside some originals makes for even more unreleased tracks on this set: 40 unissued cuts to Modern Girl's 25, along with several tracks that have only been available on vinyl or digitally. Strut sweetens the deal by not only including a revised version of the "uncut" sessions version of Do You released as a deluxe set by Cherry Red last year, but offering the newly-constructed album Shockwave, comprised of non-album and unissued material recorded in 1986, plus a newly-curated collection of 12" mixes and a DVD offering over two dozen music videos. A 48-page booklet offers new liner notes (featuring insight from Easton's collaborators including Narada Michael Walden, David Leonard, Greg Mathieson and Adele Bertei) and rare photographs.  As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.​
