Send It With Love
Album Description Country-pop superstar Shania Twain is already known to millions with her releases of “The Woman In Me’, “Come On Over” and “Up!”, but there is an earlier chapter to her recorded work that did not take place in Nashville. This is the much publicized collection of rock demos that Shania Twain recorded back in 1989 and 1990 with hard rock veteran Paul Sabu. Paul’s late ’80s metal band, Only Child, actually provides the backing band for Shania on these recordings. All but five of the songs were co-written by Sabu and Twain. This entire package has been digitally remastered from the original recordings.
Before She Made It Big: Shania Twain’s First Album Issued Onto Vinyl
Limited Edition 500 copy release is available at Renaissance Records
The Ritz Herald | January 5, 2021
Before her first single, ‘Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?’ placed in the Billboard country chart, before her international pop breakthrough with album, ‘Come On Over’, before her Las Vegas residency and before her recent duet with Orville Peck. She was Eilleen Edwards, better known as Shania Twain.
In the late 1980’s to the early 1990’s the then-unknown Twain was working with producer Paul Sabu. Together they recorded a collection of demos that are far from anything she is known for as the singer and songwriter she is today.
“If you’re looking for country music you aren’t going to find it on this album.” Jonie Lyle, inventory assistant at Renaissance Records explains.
“This album is full of energetic and well produced pop/ rock songs.” Lyle says. “Every track gives you a sneak peek at young Shania’s superstar potential.”
This pop rock album spawned catchy songs, ‘Lost My Heart‘, ‘Hate To Love‘ and ‘Don’t Give Me That (Once Over) and ‘Two Hearts One Love‘. This album also contains remix versions of ‘Hate To Love’, ‘It’s Alright’ and ‘For The Love Of Him’.
The First Time…For The Last Time is now available on limited edition 180g 2LP that includes extra incentives in this deluxe vinyl packaging. These extra incentives include restored liner notes, lost and exclusive photos, lyric sheet and a trading card of Shania Twain.
