Editorial Reviews

CD Description
* "O'chi" features the classic 1985 single, `Whenever You Need Somebody', a US Billboard dance chart #1 for O'chi and a #3 hit in the UK when covered by Rick Astley two years later. A duet with Rick, `Learning To Live (Without Your Love)', also features - one of three further UK singles together with the #23 US club hit `100% Pure Pain' and `Two Hearts Beating As One'.

* "A thoroughly engaging album of modern love songs with a variety of beats" according to Billboard, "O'chi" not only reflects the soulful styling of other early PWL tracks for Princess, Haywoode and the Three Degrees, but also marked SAW's first foray into the garage-house/pop crossover sound of subsequent productions for Mel & Kim and others.

* Digitally re-mastered direct from the original master tapes, this Deluxe Edition brings together the original album with no less than nineteen bonus tracks across two CDs, most of them previously available only on vinyl or entirely unreleased. A comprehensive collection of sought-after full-length 12" mixes from Phil Harding, Adonis, Dave Ogrin, Tony Prendatt & Matthew Kasha and others features together with the B-sides `I Play Games' and `I Just Want To Be Loved' and the US-only alternative album versions of `100% Pure Pain' and `Two Hearts Beating As One'.

* The extensive booklet also features additional photos, an illustrated discography, full lyrics and new sleeve notes from PWL expert Tom Parker together with O'chi's exclusive personal commentary and contributions.

Tottenham-born O'chi Brown was discovered by a Trojan Records producer at the age of 17. She made her name in the early 80s with a string of Lovers Rock covers, ranging from Bob Marley to "Auld Lang Syne", "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and "Unchained Melody". In 1985, the single `Why Can't We Be Friends?' marked a move towards a more upbeat pop sound and secured O'chi a deal with Magnet Records for an album to be recorded at Pete Waterman's newly-established PWL Studios. "O'chi" was followed in 1987 by a second Magnet LP, "Light The Night", O'chi's last album to date.

Original CD copies of "O'chi" are amongst the most sought-after of all PWL-related releases and often change hands for three-figure sums. Now the album becomes the latest in a long line of Hit Factory classics to be reissued on Cherry Pop.
