Twiggy Talks: "'If Love Were All' was recorded in the middle of the shows run - which I absolutely adored doing although it was quite hard work and Coward is a joy to sing although can be quite difficult as his range is quite a lot. I think he wrote some of the most beautiful love songs and some of the funniest! I am very pleased with this recording, although there are a couple of songs I wouldn't mind re-recording - but you always think that!"

CD · Dreamworks · DRMD-50032 · USA

Twiggy Talks: "'The Twiggy - Twiggy record! I met Twiggy Ramirez this rather strange looking creature - very skinny and all in black leather. Once you got past the image he was actually a really nice guy. I didn't really know about Marilyn Manson - it's not my sort of music, not exactly the sort of thing I would curl up and listen to!! We met up together and someone suggested a photo session and Leigh said why not go into the studio so we did! However when we did that old Dusty Springfield song - Marilyn Manson did a mix of it however the song went into this film which is meant to be appalling. They gave the song to the Rush Brothers who produced the soundtrack who remixed the song which wasn't really that great."

Twiggy Talks: "'Bruce Kimmel went to Varese Sarabande and wanted to bring them in on a pretty good budget to start a division to produce songs from Broadway - showtunes. It's hard to get music like that recorded as obviously they aren't great money earners like commercial pop records. There is such a huge amount of beautiful and wonderful show songs that if they don't get recorded they will be lost. So we did London Pride which was songs from the London stage. Although it was an American recording Bruce wanted someone English, who was well known in America, a friend of mine suggested me to Bruce and I was delighted to do it. They would send me through all the choices - there were so many and we had to wittle it down. They were songs from the turn of the century to present day showtunes it was a whole different range of songs all that I love..."

Winter Wonderland December 1989
Winter Wonderland (1989)Winter Wonderland · Needles And Pins 
7" · Object Enterprises · Object Twig 1 · UK

Twiggy Talks: "That was the single from our anticipated album 'Then He Kissed Me' they wanted to do it as a Christmas single and Christmas singles are notoriously difficult because you get all the big artists bringing out Christmas songs at the same time. I said this wasn't a good idea but they went ahead with it anyway! Out of the entire session 'Winter Wonderland' was my least favourite track!"

Note: There is much speculation as to whether there was an Extended Mix vinyl released of this single, although there is a published catalogue number for the release.

Twiggy Talks: "I actually think 'Diamond' was a really good song. I met these two guys called Charlie Skarbeck and Tim Smit who were rather good song writers, they took me into the studio and we did quite a few tracks - working towards doing an album and recorded about half a dozen songs. I personally feel that 'Diamond' is a better track than 'Feel Emotion'. However, as neither singles sold that well the record company didn't put the money down to release an entire album, which was a shame."

Twiggy Talks: "I did that one with David Essex - who I have known since the late sixties when David was up to play the male lead in 'The Boy Friend', then Ken Russell cast Christopher Gable instead. We then worked together a few years later when he made two guest spots on my BBC TV shows. After that David said he had written this song and asked if I would go into the studio to record it. He's a nice chap and that's a sweet song actually - I liked that one!"

Twiggy Talks: "This song was sent to me by the composer who also went on to produce the track.

Twiggy Talks: "Please Get My Name Right didn't do as well as the initial 'Twiggy' album the year before.

Twiggy Talks: "My first real album after my record deal with Phonogram - I'd always absolutely adored country music, I guess it was always my 'thing'. This album was slightly more country than 'Please Get My Name Right' which was more pop I suppose. The first album did rather well, earning me a silver disc, although they both did very well. This album was produced by Tony Eyers who was a hot record producer at the time."
