Original release 1978 Stiff Records Re-issue 1991 Repertoire Records 4218 + 3 bonus tracks biography The child star Rachel Sweet began her singing career at the age of three - and won competitions in Akron and the surrounding area. In New York she was a child model at the age of five and was hired for commercials and jingles, and later she sang in Mickey Rooney's opening act. At the age of twelve she was already performing in Las Vegas - with an orchestra, as an opener for Bill Cosby. She took part in a casting for the lead role in the film “The Exorcist”, but – unbeknownst to her parents – asked not to be considered; she didn't want to appear in a film "with this improper language." Around this time she recorded her first single. At the age of 14, the second, the country single, followed in Nashville (Tennessee). “We Live in Two Different Worlds”, which briefly made it into the top 100 of the US country charts. The following year she met music producer Liam Sternberg. The “Stiff” period Sternberg had put together an LP of new wave music from Akron for the young, up-and-coming London independent label Stiff Records, "The Akron Compilation". He produced two of the tracks with Rachel Sweet. The Stiff executives liked the sound of Rachel's songs and signed her to a contract. Fool around Sternberg, who was now her manager, also recorded her first LP with Rachel in 1978, “Fool Around”. The sound was a mix of country, folk and rock 'n' roll, but was described as “Wave” sold - like everything that appeared on Stiff in the early days. This was probably also ensured by the fact that some of Ian Dury's musicians Blockheads played along. For some of the songs, Stiff brought Brinsley Schwarz and Andrew Bodnar from The Rumor into the studio, including the single "BABY", a cover version of the 60s hit by Carla Thomas. The now 16-year-old went with them “Be Stiff”-Promotion tour, which also included Lene Lovich, Wreckless Eric, Mickey Jupp and Jona Lewie. Rachel's band on this tour was The Records. Success of the tour: Rachel became known, the LP was praised, and the single was even bought - eight weeks in the British charts with a peak at number 35. There was some excitement in Puritan Britain over the alleged Lolita image that Stiff was supposedly trying to sell Rachel, as she was only 16. Created by eBay Turbo Lister The free setting tool.
