CD reissue. Prior to becoming the iconoclastic vocalist who would revolutionize the role of women in rock & roll during the 1980s, Cyndi Lauper fronted Blue Angel, a retro-rock quintet that was all too short-lived. Their sound recalls all that is great about the superbly crafted early-’60s pop music genre. Producer Roy Halee perfectly re-creates Phil Spector’s sound on the upbeat “I Had a Love” as well as “Just the Other Day,” throwing in more than a hint of a reggae shuffle backbeat. Followers of Lauper’s later work will note the overhaul of “Maybe He’ll Know” on her similarly strong second solo outing from 1986, True Colors.
