I saw her in Atlanta in '89. It seems like I remember her wearing a cast on her leg so she didn't move around much. The only other thing I remember is she had the huge shoulder pads that were popular then. There was a radio concert from Texas on this tour that was really good.
I bought an album of this interview back in the day. It was a special promo released by Modern Records. The main thing I liked about it was the cover.

Side one gets off to a great start with a string of strong songs, still don't understand why Ooh My Love was not a follow up single, it would have done at least as well as Rooms on that kind of momentum. Except for Doing the Best I Can though, Side Two is mostly forgettable, where she brings in two horrible covers and drones through Alice and Juliet where Rupert seemingly forgot about his good production on side one. Planets and All the Beautiful Worlds may both have been a great fit for her "Magic" album. The aforementioned two strong tracks are the only two I pull out and listen to nowadays though.
