Helen Reddy - Ear Candy (1977) Vinyl LP • and 50 similar items

Catalog Number: SO-11640 Condition Details: Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). Cover looks good, moderate scuffing, some creasing, radio station call sign and surface abrasion, especially at front top left and back top right (front/back); some discoloration spots on back. Inner-sleeve is original (photo/lyrics); three seams partially split. Spine is somewhat faint but easy-to-read with mild wear. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use. (Hole-punch in top-right.) Tracks: You're My World One More Night Long Distance Love If It's Magic Aquarius Miracle Laissez Les Bontemps Rouler The Happy Girls Midnight Skies Baby, I'm A Star Thank You About The Record: Ear Candy, by Helen Reddy, included a modern take on the doo-wop genre (Long Distance Love), a Cajun number that gave the Melbourne native her first and only appearance on Billboard magazine's Country chart (Laissez les Bontemps Rouler), and a dark self-parody on which Reddy proclaims: "I don't take no sh*t from nobody" (Baby, I'm a Star). Unusually, half of the songs recorded for Ear Candy were co-written by Reddy herself, including the second single: The Happy Girls, Reddy's first self-penned A-side single since I am Woman. The album's first single, a remake of the 1964 Cilla Black hit You're My World, gave Reddy a final Top 40 hit.
