The song was the title track of her debut album, released on A&M Records in 1988, a long-player that featured some prodigious musical talent including Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour (who had been something of a mentor to Sam having worked on some demos with her when she was young), King Crimson’s Jakko Jakszyk and Sam’s dad, 1960s pop star Joe Brown. The “Stop!” album delivered another top 20 hit in the UK in 1989 with a cover of the Holland-Dozier-Holland classic “Can I Get A Witness” and would go on to become a major success, selling 2.5m copies worldwide. Despite a hectic schedule of promotional duties, touring and video shoots, Sam Brown delivered a prompt follow-up to her debut in 1990 with “April Moon”. Self-produced with brother Pete, Sam’s second album was arguably more consistent than her debut and A&M were impressed enough to pull five singles from the record including the hits “Kissing Gate” and “With A Little Love”. “April Moon” would close the curtain on Sam’s brief tenure at A&M and in 1992 she chose to release her third album “43 Minutes” independently. She has issued three more studio albums since that time. “The A&M Years 1988-1990” is a comprehensive 4CD+DVD box set that has been produced with the cooperation and enthusiasm of Sam Brown. Across the five discs the set features: • The Stop! & April Moon albums in full, with bonus tracks including single mixes/edits, a previously unreleased recording of “This Feeling” produced by Pete Smith and an unheard remix of “Your Love Is All”. • All the B-sides and non-album tracks issued on every single at the time • 14 previously unreleased original demos, including two unheard songs, “Wasted Away” and “I Cried” • The Sam Brown… The Videos compilation on DVD for the very first time, with bonus interview footage. • Newly mastered audio. Transferred from the original tapes at Abbey Road Studios. • 24-page booklet with track-by-track annotation for both albums, via new interview with Sam Brown • In total, 17 previously unreleased tracks and three more unreleased on CD.

Can it really be that long ago? I still love Stop! and April Moon, both superb and Sam's voice is still a joy to listen to. Not sure if the new versions of these CDs sound better than the originals as I haven't compared them yet, but if you've not heard them before, they are worth the price alone. My main interest though was in the two CDs of extra tracks, a few of which I already had as B sides, but most of which were new to me. These are not just alternate versions of songs I already knew either - there's a lot of new material, almost all of if great. There's also a bunch of demos included that are an extra bonus. The DVD of videos was of less interest to me, but still fun to watch, particularly with Sam's commentary in between. A massive thanks to Paul Sinclair, Sam, and everyone else involved in this release. I for one really appreciate it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What more can I Say?! *by S***G on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2020* Loved this and I have loved Sam ever since I saw her at the Tik-Tok club in Coventry with her dad in the audience.Sad loss of her mum, then her voice and she keeps on smiling, when most would have crumbled.At the heart a love of music and some fab songwriting. And lately Ukelele not sure how you spell it.Lovely demos and outtakes and you see the development from ideas to finished, polished article. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The delightful Miss Sam Brown *by K***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 June 2020* This box set covers everything that Miss Brown did whilst at a&m records. The sleeve notes are surprisingly candid and show that Sam didn’t always like what the studio were thinking and was best. The videos are lovely but it’s the unparalleled voice that captures you. Sam Brown is still my all-time favourite female vocalist. No one has ever comeClose in terms of range, passion and power. She went on to record several more wonderful albums that were more representative of her as an artist but this is a great place to start, or to complete the set of her recorded work.Oh, and if you ever get the chance to pick up the duet she did with Black (Colin Vearnecombe), don’t hesitate- it’s a thing of beauty. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/58870346-the-a-and-m-years-1988-1990](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/58870346-the-a-and-m-years-1988-1990) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-29*
