Written by Tim Hardin

ボストン出身の彼女のデビューはCreation Recordsから。70年初頭に家族でイギリスで渡ってから音楽活動が始まったらしい。その昔、Scott Walkerは英国人らしい米国人だったが、彼女の声や音楽は明確にアメリカンフォークがルーツだ。Tim Hardinをカバーで取り上げるのもまた然りだが、4ADとそのパッケージデザインの妙なのか、ほんのりとイギリストラッド＆ジャズの要素も。

Label: 4AD (UK)

Catalog#: BAD 806

Format: Vinyl, 12"(EP)

Credits: Dedicated to Hank William & Marquis De Sade

Design - Vaughan Oliver

Written, Produced & Engineer by Kurt Ralske

A: She Screamed

B1: Walkin' After Midnight  Written by Block, Hecht

B2: Not In Love (Hit By A Truck)

Kurt RalskeことUVSの出世作。1983年以降のリリースは無いが、それまでのほぼ全ての音源を4ADからリリースしている。一人で全ての演奏・プロデュース・宅録をこなしたり、フォークをベースにしながらのヒップホップスタイルは、まるで少し早かったBeckだ。今思えば、彼と入れ替わる様にBeckがデビューした事は同時代性音楽の必然だったのだろう。余談だが、このフロントジャケットは4ADの中でオレのベスト10に入るほど美しい。
