LTM are pleased to present the first ever CD reissues by cult new wave diva Hermine. An essentially unclassifiable performer, whose career spans acting, comedy and tightrope walking as well as singing, Hermine's musical reputation rests on her cult mini album from 1982, The World On My Plates, on which the allure of her vaudeville torch songs is much enhanced by its iconic cover image of the artist loading singles into a dishwasher, poised and chic in a designer polka dot dress.
The World On My Plates features six songs, including skewed covers of Blue Angel and Too Many Men In My Life, both staples of her sets at the Comic Strip, and flaunting her deliberately erratic femme fatale vocal style. The seven bonus tracks include all sides from her first three singles, including Born A Woman, TV Lovers and Torture, the latter recorded for Virgin in 1980 and produced by David Cunningham of the Flying Lizards.
Digitally restored from the original master tapes, the CD features an attractive booklet including artist biography and images. The collection is also available as a download from Crammed Discs.
