Import from Europe. Made in Holland. Vinyl plays nicely; a few light hairlines (play-graded). Cover looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing and surface impressions (front/back); writing near song title on back. Inner-sleeve is original (photos/lyrics/credits); one seam partially split. Spine is mostly easy-to-read with mild-wear; developing split near center. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge; some wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use. (Not a cut-out.)
Hide Your Heart, by Bonnie Tyler, was recorded in Woodstock, New York, and produced by Desmond Child. Unlike Tyler's previous two releases, the album failed to chart on the Billboard 200, but did see success in Europe. The album features the song Hide Your Heart written by Paul Stanley, Desmond Child and Holly Knight. This song was later covered three times in 1989 Ace Frehley's Trouble Walkin', Robin Beck's Trouble Or Nothin', and Molly Hatchet's Lightning Strikes Twice. And performed in 1989 by Paul Stanley with Kiss on their Hot in the Shade album. The album also features the original versions of the track Save Up All Your Tears, which would be covered, with a faster arrangement, by Cher on her 1991 album Love Hurts, and The Best, later covered by Tina Turner. Also included is Bonnie Tyler's power ballad remake of Turner's 1986 B-side Don't Turn Around (which was also a No. 1 UK hit for Aswad in 1988 and an international hit for Ace of Base in 1994), and the Bee Gees' To Love Somebody, also a hit for Michael Bolton and Jimmy Somerville. Tyler's first single from the album was The Best, which was the best performing single, reaching No. 10 in Norway and Portugal, No. 20 in Spain and No. 95 in the UK. Other singles included Hide Your Heart, Save Up All Your Tears, Don't Turn Around, and the U.S. title track Notes From America.
