Description
Kim Wilde has hand signed this copy of her 1981 debut album “Kim Wilde” on the front cover in blue ink. Very strong and clear autograph. The album entered the UK Albums Chart at No. 10, moving into the Top 3 the next week; the album was certified Gold by the BPI for sales exceeding 100,000 copies.
During promotion, Kim’s band consisted of Ricky Wilde, James Stevenson and later boyfriend Calvin Hayes, who also appeared on the sleeve of the album. Kim later commented that, at that time in the industry, it was passé for a female to attempt to launch a serious career in pop music on her own, and that the backing band had been shown on the sleeve to give credibility to the album. Still, she was attacked for trying to copy the allure of US band Blondie. The album was released in North America on April 6, 1982, reaching No .86 in the US and No. 42 in Canada.
