An expanded version of Sinead O’Connor‘s sophomore breakthrough album, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, was issued a couple of weeks ago (albeit to very little fanfare).

Labeled a limited-edition release, this new edition of the 1990 double-platinum album has been digitally remastered. Among those ten tracks, of course, is the smash hit everyone and his mom remembers (and the reason for the majority of those monster sales). Nineteen years ago this week, Sinead’s cover of the Prince-penned “Nothing Compares 2 U,” was enjoying a month-long reign at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100:

Thinking back to that time in her life and career, Sinead writes on her website that she doesn’t remember much:

“It’s kind of funny for me in some ways, because a lot of what happened at that time is completely gone from my memory for some reason. I know that when ‘Nothing Compares’ really took off it was a kind of crazy time, and I was whizzing here, there, and everywhere, doing TV shows, endless interviews, etc. I am sure I was really overwhelmed by the whole thing even if I didn’t really realize it at the time.”

For me, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got wasn’t as an immediate grabber as The Lion And The Cobra had been. Sinead’s debut sounded like primal scream therapy—raw, emotional power caught on record. It remains a brilliant piece of personal art. But after successive listens to I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, tracks like “Black Boys On Mopeds” and “You Cause As Much Sorrow” also revealed themselves as equally arresting, if comparatively quieter.

But the real reason I’m geeking out about this new version of I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got is that a second disc collects rare tracks and unreleased tunes Sinead recorded around the same time. These treasures include a Daniel Lanois-produced covers of John Lennon’s “Mind Games” and Gregory Isaacs’ “Night Nurse,” the non-album single “My Special Child,” and her sublime take on Cole Porter’s “You Do Something To Me,” recorded for the Red Hot + Blue charity album.

Disc Two also features the Apple Brightness Remix of “I Am Stretched On Your Grave,” one of Bill Coleman‘s earliest mixes. I’ve got the original import single of “The Emperor’s New Clothes” on which this mix appears, which credits Deee-lite‘s Super DJ Dmitry and Jungle DJ Towa Tei with providing “additional production and invaluable assistance.”

In its original form, Sinead’s “I Am Stretched On Your Grave” utilized the ubiquitous James Brown’s “Funky Drummer” sample. But the Apple Brightness Remix opens with a famous line from the cult TV hit, Twin Peaks, and prominently features the tremolo riff from The Smiths’ “How Soon Is Now.” As a major fan of both, the marriage of the two is still heaven to my ears, even after all these years.
