About the Artist
Lulu recorded her first UK hit in 1964; worked in the Sixties with legendary US producer Bert Berns (Them, Drifters, Solomon Burke, Moody Blues); became an overnight sensation in the US with "To Sir With Love" at the age of 19; recorded an album at Muscle Shoals studio for Atlantic with Jerry Wexler at the age of 20; married the late Bee Gee Maurice Gibb (from whom she was divorced in the mid-Seventies); collaborated with David Bowie on her Top 5 UK hit "The Man Who Sold The World"; had a Top 20 US hit in 1981 with "I Could Never Miss You (More Than I Do)"; enjoyed a #1 UK hit with teen band Take That (featuring Robbie Williams) on a remake of Dan Hartman’s disco classic "Relight My Fire"; and in 2002 returned to the Top 5 in the UK with another duet, alongside Ronan Keating - a remake of the Bob Seger hit "We’ve Got Tonight"; twice married -- to Bee Gee Maurice Gibb and later to New York-based hairdresser John Frieda -- Lulu these days divides her time between the UK and US.

Product Description
Thirty five years after she took the US by storm with "To Sir With Love" - staying at No. 1 on the Billboard chart for an incredible five weeks - Lulu is as active as ever, with chart records in every decade from the Sixties to the present day.

Inspired by her recent autobiography, I Don't Want To Fight features nine cuts previously not issued in the US, including:

-- "I Don't Want To Fight," Lulu's own recording of the Grammy-nominated song she wrote for Tina Turner, included here in Lulu's original demo version -- The Billboard club hit "Independence," which was also a #1 CHR airplay track in the UK. -- "I'm Back For More," Lulu's UK hit duet with soul legend Bobby Womack. -- Two versions of her first ever self-composed Top 40 hit, "Goodbye Baby And Amen": the original Brothers In Rhythm-produced single version and the excellent Stonebridge club mix -- Her cover of the Jackie Moore disco hit "This Time Baby" -- Her self-penned UK single "Every Woman Knows," the video for which features cameos by Boy George and Kim Wilde, among others. -- The Frankie Knuckles classic remix of the Bee Gee written and produced "Let Me Wake Up In Your Arms" -- The Drizabone remix of her UK single "There Has Got To Be A Way"

Two of the cuts included here were recorded in Miami - the Bee Gee written and produced "Let Me Wake Up In Your Arms" and her remake of the Champaign hit "How 'Bout Us." In all, this collection includes two US singles and no fewer than six UK chart singles, and represents most of Lulu's recorded output in the Nineties. It also brought her to the attention of a new, younger audience in addition to her original "To Sir With Love" era fans, and put her on the Billboard dance charts for the first time.

Describing 'Goodbye Baby and Amen' as "magnificent", US reviewer John Hrabar, writing in Dance Music Authority, enthused: "Each new Lulu release is met with real anticipation and all expectations are met and exceeded."
