"The Bed's Too Big Without You" (7" 45rpm)
As punk withered and died, and we all emerged into the 80's, my musical tastes diversified and Island Records always seemed to produce great records.
I had no idea who Sheila Hylton was, but the clue to what makes this record so good is in the small print on the label. It's one of my favourite tracks by The Police - Sting wrote it for their second album "Reggatta de Blanc". And it was arranged by Jamaican rhythm maestros Sly & Robbie who also played the drums and bass that propel the song forward. And having one of Kingston's top producers Harry J just about seals a sure-fire winner.
And that's about it, I've never bought anything else by Sheila Hylton but I still love this single.
