It includes five UK Top 40 singles including 'You Came' (No. 3 and \nUS No. 41), 'Four Letter Word' (No. 6), 'Never Trust A Stranger' (No. 7), 'Hey Mister Heartache' (No. 31), \nand 'Love In The Natural Way' (No. 32).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \nBoth formats come with the bonus tracks 'Tell Me Where You Are', originally the B-Side of 'Hey Mister \nHeartache', and the 7-inch edit of Shep Pettibone's remix of 'You Came'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKim's growing confidence as a songwriter saw her name attached to all but two of the ten songs that \noriginally appeared on the album - 'Four Letter Word' (by Marty and Ricki Wilde), and a cover of Todd \nRundgren's ballad 'Lucky Guy' were the only tracks that didn't give Kim a co-writing credit. Junior Giscombe \nreturned to add backing vocals to the funky 'Hey Mister Heartache', while Bias Boshell, writer of Kiki Dee's \n'74 hit 'I've Got The Music In Me', was drafted in to add keyboards to 'Lucky Guy'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOnce again, Ricky Wilde was behind the production desk, where he shared the task with Tony Swain; his \nsignificant success in the '80s saw him work with Imagination on 'Body Talk', Spandau Ballet on 'True', \nAlison Moyet on 'Love Resurrection', and Bananarama on 'Cruel Summer' - contemporary reviews drew \ncomparisons with his work here, and his previous output with Keren, Sara, and Siobhan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe picture disc recreates the original Close artwork, with photography by Russell Young, who was also \nresponsible for the images that so memorably adorned George Michael's 'Faith' and Enya's 'Watermark'.\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1.
