Hopelessly in Love (Expanded Edition) [NAD 2021]: - Carroll Thompson [CD]

Seminal, groundbreaking 1981 album, which helped define British reggae for a new generation of black British youth. Thompson had enjoyed early success with the Leonard Chin-produced singles 'I'm So Sorry' and 'Simply In Love', which rose to the top of the reggae charts in 1981. The same year Thompson released this album; 'Hopelessly in Love' through her own production company. The cover design, featuring a classic snapshot of Thompson sitting on a car bonnet in Harlesden, north-west London, came to epitomise lovers rock style and attitude. This edition for National Album Day features bonus tracks of 12' mixes.
