Cyndi
Lauper is my favorite Lp, we get to see in collections of various
clients, but do not know because I never wanted to catch up now that
checking donations or loans, check and was among the friend Elizabeth
Socorro, the cover was retrievable and intact vinyl, but the cover was attached to another
disc idea who he was, I find I play again between lp's for sale on E-BAY
the back because this is one that escaped flooding.I
always caught my attention in the video for True Colors, Cyndi walking
with this strange fact dressed in newspapers, remember it was too
"crazy" or eccentric as it would now Lolololo, Lady Ga Ga falls short,
there accommodating journals and
throwing things in January got a very old and very ochentoso magazine
"TU" where the interviewed and she said that when she went to houses
wanted to IN A RING WRESTLING but her boyfriend on duty at that time did
not accept such jajajajjaja madness .In
this album I also love the songs "Change of Heart" and "Iko Iko", soon
or before December promise you assemble the collection of their hits if I
have it in cd's and buy when I went to Miami in 96, is a double album.Well ... a few ochentosos were going to drop the writ with this record, hope you like it as much as me.As I always say, enjoy it!
