This self-titled LP is a hidden gem of the 1970s London glam-pop scene with a direct link to rock royalty. The four Sutcliffe sisters moved from Australia to London and became a sensation at the Marquee Club, where they were "discovered" by David Bowie.
Bowie was so taken with their vocal arrangements that he introduced them to his own mastermind producer, Tony Visconti. Visconti produced this album with high-production "Wall of Sound" techniques, and even Bowie’s legendary photographer, Mick Rock, was brought in to shoot the cover. Despite the Bowie/Visconti endorsement, the group never released another album, leaving this as a rare cult classic for Visconti-era collectors.
Issue Price: In 1976, a new full-price vinyl LP in the UK generally retailed for about £3.50.
