Love Affair

As 1978 drew to a close, Marie Pierre, an exciting young artist with a lilting, mellifluous voice burst onto the British music scene, as her single, ‘Walk Away’, made its swift journey to the top of the nation’s reggae charts. And yet few or any of those who bought the sweetly-rendered record at the time could have been aware that despite her tender age,

Marie Pierre was in fact already something of a seasoned professional whose experience both in the recording studio and on the live scene stretched back years. In time, her hit record, produced by the UK’s premier reggae producer, Dennis ‘Blackbeard’ Bovell, would
become a staple of the lovers rock sound and when, over the months that immediately followed its release, a number of similarly impressive singles further demonstrated the extent of her talent.

This expanded version of Marie’s Love Affair - her one and only album to date- presents her entire Trojan output along with a further two Dennis Bovell-produced tracks, released shortly before and after her all-too-brief spell with the company.

This long overdue deluxe version of Love Affair is now available as limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on red vinyl.
