Into My Music

Into My Music - Anthology 1975-1979 is a digitally remastered double album, featuring songs written and performed by Lynsey de Paul, that was released on 18 March 2013.^[1][2][3]

Disc One features tracks from de Paul's 1975 Jet Records album, Love Bomb, plus two non-album singles ("Rhythm And Blue Jean Baby" backed with "Into My Music" and "If I Don't Get You The Next One Will") plus "You Made Me Write This Song", which was the B-side to the single (and the Love Bomb album track) "Hug and Squeeze Me".^[2] The second disc contains tracks from the previously unreleased third LP for Jet Records recorded in 1976 - outside of Japan, this was the first time that these songs had officially been released.^[3] Also on the second CD is "Rock Bottom", de Paul's international Eurovision hit written and performed with Mike Moran as well as their B-side duet, "You Shouldn't Say That".^[4] The follow up 1977 single, "You Give Me Those Feelings", is also included as are songs from the Tigers and Fireflies album, including two songs co-written with actor James Coburn.^[2]

As was the case for the other anthology double album, Sugar and Beyond,^[1] the CD comes with a booklet containing stories about the songs and de Paul's career, as well as photos and items from her personal archive. Journalist Stephen Unwin reviewed the album and gave it 4/5, writing "...on the barometer between Deborah Harry and Farrah Fawcett was Lynsey de Paul, a pop star who did sexy without going above the knee. She was also a formidable songwriter, a talent sometimes forgotten".^[5]
