I thought she sold real estate...not that I care really.

"I Pretend" is good, and even better due to Stevie's wild hearted torchy vocal. Some may recall that it was strongly considered for inclusion on the "Enchanted" box set.
Thanks PenguinHead for the heads up. I had no idea this album was remastered for CD release and available. I'll have to order it to just have a great copy of I Pretend. What rattles my mind is that if they can remaster this old long forgotten album - which was a flop, why o why have they not remastered ALL of Stevies 80's catalog? It makes no sense.

"Get My Way" and "Think of Me" are the best tracks in my opinion. I actually find "I Pretend" to be the weakest.

I also really like "In the Rain" and "Something for the Pain" on her Blue Yonder album as well. Check them out.

Really?!? WOW! I mean Sandy Stewart had her moments, but overall I think her talent was pretty average. And her vocals were a little too affected and always sounded like the record was on the wrong speed. The Cat Dancer album was too Flashdancey for me and has a totally cheesy & cheap sounding 80's vibe - It was definitely the poor mans Wild Heart. I much preferred her work on Blue Yonder - "In The Rain" is good & I always wished Stevie had covered "Windsong" - That would have been a perfect song for her....maybe even better than "Seven Wonders".
