Save Me From Myself

Tara: “Save Me From Myself” (ZTT)

I know you can’t choose your parents and all that but you’d have to go a long way to find less hip and happening old ‘uns than Joan Collins and Anthony “Bowie and Suede both ripped me off and I never got the royalties” Newley.

Considering the loins that were involved in the girding process, Tara’s first slinkily seductive foray into the world of pop is a far classier affair than it has any right to be. Think of Kate Bush shacking up for the night with Prince in Paisley Park and you’ve got a pretty good idea of where Ms. Newley’s coming from.

Do we really need six mixes of the same song and bugger-all B-side, though?
