It was released in 1983 and featured her breakthrough hit "Just What I Always Wanted". BackgroundIn early 1982, Wilson had achieved minor success with two singles, "Beat the Beat" and "Baby It's True", but it was in September that she broke through to top ten success when "Just What I Always Wanted" became a No.8 hit.[2] The song sparked media interest in Wilson due to her 1960s image (in particular her beehive hairstyle) and retro sound. She was also keen to promote her backing band, The Wilsations, who received joint credit on the album. This was followed up with the more modest hit "(Beware) Boyfriend", but a cover of "Cry Me a River" returned her to the top 30. Alongside this fifth single came the debut album, which also charted well, by reaching No.24 in the UK.[3] One more single was released from the album afterwards; "Wonderful (To Be With)", which proved to be Wilson's final top 75 entry. The album was released in three different versions - the UK edition, a slightly modified version in Europe and a truncated version in the US. The UK edition featured neither "(Beware) Boyfriend" or "Baby It's True", while none of them included "Beat the Beat".[4] In the US, the album was issued in 1983 on Polygram Records and was released alongside lead single "Just What I Always Wanted", but was unsuccessful. In the UK, Showpeople remains her only hit album. The album has never been released on Compact disc, but in 2007, all tracks were featured on Wilson's compilation album, The Platinum Collection.[5] Track listingAll tracks composed by Teddy Johns; except where indicated UK editionSide One
