Cinema (Elaine Paige album)

1

Cinema is the fourth solo album by English singer Elaine Paige, released in 1984 on Warner Music. It peaked at number 12 in the UK Albums Chart.

Background

For her previous album Stages (1983), Paige had chosen tracks from musical theatre. Following this theme, Cinema features songs that had been previously recorded for film soundtracks. Tim Rice wrote lyrics to Vangelis's theme for the film Missing specifically for this album.

Production

Cinema was the second of Paige's recordings to be produced by Tony Visconti. Like Stages, the recording was primarily conducted at Visconti's Good Earth Studios, other than for "Sometimes" (Theme from Champions) which had been previously recorded at CTS Studios in London, featuring the New World Philharmonia.

Out-takes

In 2014, Rhino UK released the compilation album Elaine Paige: The Ultimate Collection which includes the out-take "What a Feeling" (from the film Flashdance), originally recorded as part of the Cinema album sessions.
