Info from the CD sleeve..

Tracklisting -:

KIDNAP ME (9:02)
YOU`LL NEVER ESCAPE MY LOVE (9:05)
RESTLESS FOR YOU (10:05)
MY CONSCIENCE WON`T LET ME (4:55)
FALLING OFF THE EDGE OF THE WORLD (8:38)

All the tracks are written by Ian levine & Fiachra Trench.
Arrangements by - John Mealing
Recorded at Trident Studios, London

*The album was originally recorded & scheduled for release in November 1979 on A.M.E records.

I`m not sure if the woman on the front cover IS Loretta Stokes as I have no idea what she looks like anyway... I can`t say it looks particularly like a guy dressed as a woman tho !
Just listening to the tracks and the string arrangements are very good and the vocal is excellent. I know Mr levine has his critics but the work he did in the 70s (such as this) is very good and deserved more widespread success.
Im not really sure how successful his disco work was in the States.. (apart from his big hits with Barbara Pennington & James Wells...)
I got this CD from Amazon.. with postage it only cost me £6.00 - a great bargain !!

Hope this info is useful !
