Description
Limited blue vinyl LP pressing. Teases & Dares was Kim's fourth studio album, first released in November 1984 following a change of record label. It includes the singles 'The Second Time' (released in America as 'Go For It'), 'The Touch', and 'Rage To Love'; both formats now come with the bonus tracks 'Lovers On A Beach' (originally the B-Side of 'The Second Time'), and a cover of The Shirelles' 1962 song 'Putty In Your Hands' (the B-Side of Kim's UK No. 19 hit 'Rage To Love'). Taking Kim to a wider audience, 'The Touch' featured in the '85 rom-com Secret Admirer, while album track 'Is It Over' was included on the soundtrack of the comedy thriller Fletch. Teases & Dares marked the first time that Kim received a sole writing credit (for the tracks 'Fit In', and 'Shangri-La' - she was also credited with keyboards on both), and listed her as the album's co-producer, alongside father and brother Marty and Ricky Wilde. Other collaborators included Kim's long time guitarist Steve Byrd (previously with Rock giants Gillan), drummer Chris North (once of Prog Rock outfit The Enid), and an appearance from in-demand percussionist Andy Duncan (his many other credits in the '80s included Linx, Wham!, Elaine Paige, and Frankie Goes To Hollywood).
