Sinead O'Connor "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" CS (1990)

Details: I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got is the second album by Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor, released in March 1990 on Ensign/Chrysalis Records. Fantastic condition cassette (play-tested).

Description: "I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got found Sinéad O’Connor bruised but determined, disappointed yet hopeful. The cause was a combination of burgeoning fame and a nasty breakup (with John Reynolds, drummer, and father of O’Connor’s son), and the result was one of the most politically, socially, and spiritually charged breakup albums of the ‘90s, if not the entire 20th century.

... Throughout the album, O’Connor struggles with these personal tribulations amid the oppression of the world around her: “I will live by my own policies/I will sleep with a clear conscience,” she sings on “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” The disc ends even more sparely than it begins; the a cappella title track brings the singer back to a place of prayer and hopeful redemption, but whether it’s God or a lover she seeks on her “journey,” this is clearly the voice of someone who will never stop searching."--Sal Cinquemani for Slant Magazine
