Performance (Marti Webb album)


Performance is a 1989 studio album by Marti Webb with the Philharmonia Orchestra. Although originally released in 1989 on LP it has subsequently been released in 1993, 1994 and 1996 on CD.
The album was produced by Chris Walker for First Night Records and released by Telstar Records in the UK and by WEA records in Eire.
The album features songs from musical theatre. A number of tracks were from then new shows, and various others from productions that had recently been playing the West End. Webb's recording of "Memory" coincided with her return to play Grizabella in Cats, for the UK's first tour of the show.
"In One of My Weaker Moments" was released by Telstar as a single, with "Tell Me on a Sunday" as the B side. The song featured in a then new musical, Budgie, for which the lyrics were written by Webb's manager and collaborator Don Black. Anita Dobson, who starred in the stage version of the show, also released a single of the track around a similar time.
Black was also the lyricist for the musical Aspects of Love which opened in London in 1989 too, from which "Anything But Lonely" and "Love Changes Everything" are taken.
