Sheena Easton rocketed to overnight fame in 1980 with the BBC broadcast of 'The Big Time' - arguably the first pop reality show - subsequently breaking records with her first two singles 'Modern Girl' and '9 To 5' simultaneously hitting the UK Top Ten. Within a year, she had topped the US Hot 100 with the renamed 'Morning Train (Nine To Five)', recorded the Bond theme 'For Your Eyes Only', released two platinum-selling albums and become an international sensation. 1982 proved another whirlwind year for Sheena - beginning with her 'Best New Artist' win at the Grammies, followed by first national US tour, the recording of her first TV special 'Live At The Palace, Hollywood' and capped with the release of her third album - the aptly-titled 'Madness, Money and Music'. Produced by Christopher Neil, the album ranged from the hyperkinetic new wave-infused 'Machinery' via the smooth west coast yacht rock of 'There When I Needed You' to classic, Streisand-style balladry on the top 20 AC hit 'I Wouldn't Beg For Water'. This Deluxe Edition also features eight bonus tracks - including the exquisite previously- unreleased ballad 'Woman' and rare 12" remix of 'Ice Out In The Rain. ' The bonus disc marks the first official DVD release of Sheena's Emmy-winning 1982 TV special 'Act One' which includes duets with special guests Kenny Rogers and Al Jarreau as well as rare covers of songs popularised by Billy Joel, Irene Cara, Donny Hathaway and more.
