London-born Sidney Haywoode trained from an early age at London's prestigious Corona Stage Academy and was signed by CBS in 1983, following numerous acting, singing, dancing and modelling roles in the West End, in films and on TV.

Debut single, 'A Time Like This', reached the Top 5 in the US Hot Dance Club Play Chart and immediately established her distinctive brand of spirited, soulful funk/pop. Via a succession of singles - including two forgotten gems by then-little-known underground dance producers Stock Aitken & Waterman, 'You'd Better Not Fool Around' and 'Getting Closer' (covered later by Kylie) - full international chart success finally struck for Haywoode with 'Roses' in July 1986.

The long-awaited 'Arrival' album was finally unveiled, showcasing new tracks including Haywoode's take on Prince's debut hit 'I Wanna Be Your Lover'. The album soon became a much-sought-after 'lost classic' of the era, with CDs from Japan (the only territory releasing the format beyond vinyl and cassette) still regularly fetching hundreds of pounds on E-bay.

Included with this full-to-capacity 17-track digitally-remastered Special Edition CD...

thanks for the info. Do you know if any of the extended versions of her SAW productions have the classic PWL sound? I was checking out some of her songs on youtube and it's not the typical eurodance sounds made famous first by Dead or Alive...it's all pop/R&B/80s funk. Not really my thing. But if SAW did some more "SAW"-like 12" mixes, I'd pick it up.

Getting Closer and You'd Better Not Fool Around are the SAW tracks and the extended versions are in the same style as the 7" mixes. It's funk pop somewhere in between Princess and Dead Or Alive. Much more uptempo than Princess. The album as a whole is soulful funk pop. Plenty of tracks on YouTube. Recommended listening !

remember a couple of years ago when that 2 disc set of basically ALL of Dead or Alive's 12" mixes was slated to come out in Japan but was canceled? What a let down that was. I really don't understand why Youthquake and "Mad, Bad" have not been reissued with all the corresponding 12" mixes as bonus tracks.

Now out this week !

It has exclusive brand new interviews not only with Haywoode herself, but also with PWL Producer Phil Harding, Producer Bruce Nazarian (I Can't Let You Go - Detroit re-recording) and former CBS-Executive, Steve Ripley (who gives the record company inside story).
