This CD contains all the tracks off the American version of the same name plus 5 bonus tracks.While most Sheena fans are familiar with the American version songs; it is the bonus tracks that make this CD worth the money alone.Family of One, Please Don't Sympathise and (especially) Right or Wrong, make you wonder why were these tracks left off of other LPs when originally issued.Right or Wrong is far superior to most of the non bonus tracks.The two remaining bonus trax Paradox and Summer's Over are haunting but are avail on other CDs.If you like the first two Sheena American releases get this CD.

Why is it so often that an artist's first CD is her best? Perhaps it's because there are no expectations for a first CD. Regardless of the reason, Sheena's first CD is definitely her best. She and her producer, Christopher Neil, chose 10 catchy pop songs for this album. Neil gives Sheena room to breathe life into each of these pop gems. She sounds young, excited, and sympathetic on these tracks. And I agree with the reviewer before me - when I heard the bonus tracks, I wondered why they had been cut from the original album! So often the bonus tracks are long remixes and other rarities that only an artist's mother could love, but these bonus cuts are classic Sheena. This is well worth your money.

Sheena Easton, her self titled debut album, is 32 minutes and 31 seconds long and was released in March 1981. Sheena Easton reached #24 on the U.S. Billboard 200 Album Chart and went Gold. The music on the album is great. She is a joy to listen to. This album gets an A.

I first bought this album when it came out on tape. The CD has even more good songs by Sheena. Well worth the money, and great listening.

As much as I love Sheena, I think that paying $78 for a CD album is just ridiculous! This review was originally written years ago but this particular album has been re-issued digitally and is now available on i-tunes for much less than what they're selling it for here.
