IN THE MEANTIME all the way. It lacks the band presence that the 1984 album has but here the songs are more original and spacey so they allow her room to stretch vowels in that way she has.
The 1984 album has "One in a Million" and "Smile"--both of which are superior to most of the work on ITM but nothing on the 1984 album has "Giving it Back," "Forgiveness," "Anything is Possible," "Bad Journey," or "Friend."
Neither of those albums have "I Want You"--which is pure late-sixties gold.
