Swing Out Sister ‎– It’s Better To Travel VG+/VG

Swing Out Sister’s debut album, “It’s Better To Travel,” arrived in 1987, a breath of fresh air on the British pop scene. The release, fronted by vocalist Corinne Drewery and keyboardist Andy Connell alongside drummer Martin Jackson (who would depart during their next album), captured a sophisticated sound that blended electronic elements with pop, jazz, and soul. The title itself, referencing a quote by Robert Louis Stevenson, hinted at the album’s spirit – a celebration of the journey itself, rather than just the destination. “It’s Better To Travel” became a number one hit in the UK, propelled by a collection of smooth, stylish tracks that explored themes of love, nightlife, and chasing dreams.
