My First hearing of Joan Armatrading came from this album. A collaboration with singer/Songwriter Pam Nestor (who doesn't appear on the album).
Great tracks among others : My Family, City Girl, It Could Have Been Better & Alice.

A nice little gem from 1980.
Still waiting to get my hands on a decent copy at a decent price.

A thankless task of ranking tracks from a classic album. Life made easier by having only 10 tracks on it.
U Roy / Dread In A Babylon (1975)

#10

Dreadlocks Dread (Track #4)
