Following its unanimously acclaimed expanded reissues of Robert Forsters first two solo albums Danger In The Past and Calling From A Country Phone, Needle Mythology Records is proud to announce the long-awaited remastered reissue of Roberts 1994 ‘I Had A New York Girlfriend’ now retitled as ‘Beautiful Hearts’. The album saw Robert tackle a diverse array of his favourite songs from other composers among them Mickey Newburys Frisco Depot, Martha & The Muffins Echo Beach, Alone by Heart and Guy Clarks Broken Hearted People” Having had three decades to reflect on the record, Robert took this chance to revisit the albums title and artwork. I Had A New York Girlfriend had been an eleventh-hour decision, a line taken from the Modern Lovers song Old World. The working title had always been Beautiful Hearts, a phrase borrowed from another song, For Those by Tindersticks. With the old title gone, the artwork a New York street scene no longer made sense. So in its place, explains Robert, comes a contemporaneous photograph of me conducting a set of musicians crashing into the albums opening cut Natures Way. Well thats the fantasy. First time on vinyl for this remastered deluxe reissue, the vinyl package is completed by a 7″ single that features Roberts versions of The Lady Dont Mind (Talking Heads) and Freddy Fenders Sohn (F.S.K.). Remastered at Abbey Road.
