SDE Reader Rating

4.5

8CD set in 10-inch packaging with hardcover book •  Features singles, album favourites, B-sides, remixes, demos and live tracks

See That Girl 1979-2000 is a forthcoming 8CD box set featuring music from the all too short career of Kirsty MacColl.

Kirsty released five albums during her lifetime – Desperate Character (Polydor, 1981), Kite (Virgin, 1989), Electric Landlady (Virgin, 1991), Titanic Days (ZTT, 1993) and Tropical Brainstorm (V2, 2000). See That Girl brings together 161 tracks recorded between 1979 and 2000 and has been compiled in collaboration with Kirsty’s estate. The audio includes 47 previously unreleased recordings including her second album ‘Real’, recorded in 1983 but never released. ‘Lullaby For Ezra’, which was on this album, can be heard below.

Other highlights include nine tracks from Kirsty’s 1992 Glastonbury performance, a Jazz Cafe set from 1999 and live performances originally recorded for BBC radio and television.

The eighth and final CD in this set features a selection of collaborations with other artists, as either singer or songwriter, and illustrates how in-demand and versatile Kirsty’s extraordinary talents were.

The eight CDs are packaged in two folio/slipcases and these sit alongside the 60-page hardcover book with new and extensive sleeve notes from Jude Rogers, who speaks with close family, friends and fellow musicians who contribute

See That Girl 1979-2000 will be released on 27 October 2023 via UMR.
