UK DU'ers, or anyone who is familiar with Joan Armatrading
What CD should I buy. At this point I only have the one with "Drop the Pilot," "Love it when you call me names" and "Weakness in me," which are my three faves of hers. Is there a cohesive cd or GH cd that serves JA up best? Also, if you can suggest songs of hers you think I'd like.

Thanks

2. Gah tough question!
Her GH from 96 should cover the hits - includes at least two you mentioned.

I'd say Lovers Speak. It was more like her early stuff, which I like.

3. The Tories announced she was a big supporter of theirs a few years back.
Can't remember the details, but I think she slapped them down.

5. "Show Some Emotion" was her breakthrough. Give that a go.
