Mel & Kim – F.L.M.

The original release shows "From A Whisper To A Scream" as being written by A & A (Appleby & Appleby??), but the Cherry Red reissues show it as being written by Stock Aitken Waterman. Does anyone know anything regarding this?

From https://www.melandkim.com/i-m-the-one-who-really-loves-you:
"On most of the F.L.M. album releases, [I'm The One Who Really Loves You] solely features Mel & Kim's vocals, although the Atlantic records edition, which was released in the US and Canada. utilises the chorus of the Austin Howard recording in place of the sisters far superior vocal take, alongside what sounds to be a solo performance of the verses by one of the sisters! Other than this unexpected move, the sound production is identical on the Album Mixes across all territories."

Is this version available anywhere else?

IF ORDERED FROM CHERRY RED COMES WITH BONUS PRINT. NOT SURE HOW MANY COPIES THERE ARE

It looks like ‘Wayne’, Kim’s former boyfriend, has finally been deleted from the credits on the rear of the sleeve. A small, but very interesting adjustment. I seem to recall that Wayne allegedly sold photos to the press of Mel during her cancer treatment.

This CD is the French release. Only the disc was manufactured in West . I have this one and every detail listed here is the French Polydor release. The two German releases were on RCA and Blow Up. This listing should be removed.

Anyone have the 1991 EMI/Parlophone LP repress? I found one.

Great collection if you want a lot of mixes and 7" inch versions on the cheep UK and USA / japan reversible cover art some nice photos and sleeve notes but hard to read at times.

Beautiful version of the FLM Album featuring a unique german only one sided maxi single featuring Showing Out / Respectable (Extra Extended Combi-Mix Version) album has a gatefold cover featuring a Coloured photograph or mel & kim die-cut one one side with the bonus disc .this release was issued in Europe only! .

One of Cherry Red's less successful reissues. The makings for a fab reissue are there, but somehow they've fallen short on every aspect.

To fit as many tracks as possible, the original album versions of the first 3 tracks are replaced by 7" versions. It's a shame as the longer versions are quite enjoyable. Still, not every mix Mel & Kim released fits here, so why go with quantity over quality? The original album should have been included as it originally appeared. Also, not every mix that is included is that great. For example, the clanky "Respectable (Extra Beats Vocal)" that opens disc two could have been left out - which would have freed 8 minutes of disc space. On the plus side, 6 (or seven) previously unreleased versions are included. The 1990 Megamix would also have been a nice addition.

Sound quality is average. While this is apparently remastered, the overall sound level has been brought up so much that all dynamics are lost (brickwalling, loudness war).

The booklet would be great - if it were twice as big in size. The font is so tiny that the only way to read the text is to scan the booklet and view them enlarged! Just silly. There's a nice foreward by Kim and a long nice biography/story by Tom Parker. Many photos are record sleeves are pictured.

A lot of "bang for the buck" but still a frustrating release.
