My damsel heart (Sally Oldfield) (LP 3395)

Sally Oldfield  Celebration (Vinyl, Bronze Records, 1980) ***  

Genre: Prog rock, pop

Places I remember: Secondhand shop

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles/ Gear costume: My Damsel Heart 

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5

Active compensatory factors: The musical gene is strong in the Oldfield family. Not only Mike, but also his brother Terry, and sister - Sally.

I bought this album thinking that her style was going to be similar to that of Maggie Reilly (Moonlight Shadow). Sadly, it's not. It's a bit plumier, not so light and Celtic sounding (even though she was born in Ireland), and so, it doesn't move me in the way Maggie's vocals do.

Where do they all belong? She appeared on a number of Mike Oldfield's earlier albums, the first four, so I'll leave it at that.
