Third studio LP from the group Sade, named after singer Sade Adu and including (on this LP) Stuart Matthewman, Andrew Hale, and Paul Denman. What a fantastic run they had in the 80s and early 90s: Diamond LIfe, Promise, Stronger Than Pride, and Love Deluxe are all fantastic. I could just put “Turn My Back On You” itself on repeat for hours.

While all of Sade’s albums have been reissued, including in a six album box set – my copy (via Slipped Disc during a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA) is a Columbia Carrollton pressing from 1988. Exciting to find one still with the custom inner sleeve.
