I really love Sinead’s voice, and I like that song, but I hate the way her public announcements about her deeply personal issues always seem to coincide with the release of new material.

That’s fantastic, Retro. Is there a new album on the way?
There’a a poll/petition site thing to release a double LP of b-sides and odds and ends. It’s a three-way vote between her, Belly (another of my faves) and some other I can’t remember. I’d buy it.

Belly won this month’s vote, 2LP comp coming out in Jan 2021.
So… Faith and Courage remains unissued on vinly.
Didn’t know Faith and Courage was an album of b-sides and odds and ends. I have it on CD and aways assumed it was an official album release. It’s very good though.
Hope the above is a prelude to a new album – I miss her.
I stand corrected. Never been on vinyl, though, apparently. The Belly is definitely a comp.
TBH, apart from the reggae-tastic Throw Down Your Arms and the folk songs one, I stopped after she left Ensign.
I know she’s had a frequently troubled life, but, occasionally, I remember I met Sinéad once, many years ago, and she was younger than me then so she really ought to be younger than I am now..
Is it only me that finds the song above a ghastly, dispiriting dirge?
Hopefully……. 😉
It isn’t just you.
I think it’s great
More publicity seeking no doubt …
