Sinead O’Connor “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got” CS (1990)

Details: Sinead O'Connor's 1990 second pop and alternative, album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got," featured many hits including the maudlin alt-pop song,  "Nothing Compares 2 U." Slight wear on cassette cover, but otherwise in very good (previously owned) condition.

Description: "As grand an artistic and commercial success as her debut was, O’Connor was just warming up. I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got., again self-produced, dwarfs its predecessor in terms of creative ambition and achievement. Amazingly, this harrowingly personal testament to the tumult in her life sold two million copies in its first month of release, largely on the strength of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U,” ironically one of the record’s weakest efforts. Again refusing to be typecast, O’Connor makes a warm orchestral bed for “Three Babies,” delivers the otherwise a cappella “I Am Stretched on Your Grave” over a clattering hip-hop beat, conjures up catchy pop-rock for “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” gathers thickly chugging electric guitars for “Jump in the River” and sings “Black Boys on Mopeds” — a topical indictment of English hypocrisy — as acoustic folk. But such diversity is no impediment to the album’s overall impact. Unified by the razor-sharp intensity of her lyrics and the staggering power of her vocals, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got. is an absolute masterpiece." - Trouser Press
