East and West

The bittersweet debut album by American singer-songwriter Anna Domino, originally released in 1984 on Les Disques du Crepuscule. East and West was recorded in Brussels in 1983 with guest contributions from Virginia Astley, Blaine L. Reininger (of Tuxedomoon), and altpop polymath Luc Van Acker.

The five tracks on the original mini-album format include her first single "Trust, In Love" (an NME single of the week), and an exquisite cover of "Land Of My Dreams", originally a hit for Aretha Franklin in 1965. Rare b-side track "Repeating" (from the same sessions) is also now added to the album. The album retains the original cover art by Joel Van Audenhaege.

CD - Expanded version with 7 professionally recorded live tracks from Japan in 1987. LP - Remastered vinyl edition with new liner notes by Anna herself. Extra bonus tracks on the vinyl include the popular singles "Zanna", a 1984 collaboration with Luc Van Acker, and radio hit "Rhythm", produced a year later by legendary Telex founder and jazzmeister Marc Moulin.

The expanded remaster closes with a previously unreleased demo song called "Dream Back", recorded in New York City with her friend Stanton Miranda of Thick Pigeon in 1984.
