The album was mostly unfairly received by critics at the time, but in the years since has come to enjoy cult status. This vinyl re-issue is presented on translucent vinyl with a pink splatter and the originally intended track-listing. Featuring 12 cover songs, personally chosen by Kevin and adapted to make the lyrics more directly reflective of his life. The result was an autobiographical concept record about his battle and recovery from addiction, and his own struggle with self-esteem, exemplified by his incredible version of the George Benson and Whitney Houston classic \u2018The Greatest Love Of All\u2019. Kevin\u2019s choice of style for this record was men\u2019s dresses \u2013 in stark contrast to the prevailing mood in the late 1990s of British lad rock. The cover design was a radical look for the time \u2013 silk dresses, stockings and make up, not cross-dressing but a look that was undoubtedly feminine. The album was released on Oasis\u2019 label Creation, after Kevin was signed by Alan McGee (who loved Kevin\u2019s new look and labelled it \u201cpunk rock\u201d). However, \u2018My Beauty\u2019 was to be the last record released before Creation folded and the chaos that surrounded the label meant they hadn\u2019t secured approval for the cover of Bruce Springsteen\u2019s \u2018Thunder Road\u2019. Remastered by original co-producers Pete Schwier and Marco Migliari with Dexys\u2019 stalwart Jim Paterson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":521212,"template":"","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0},"product_cat":[15],"product_tag":[5652],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kayvinyl.nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/521211"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kayvinyl.nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kayvinyl.nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kayvinyl.nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/521212"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kayvinyl.nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=521211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kayvinyl.nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=521211"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kayvinyl.nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=521211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
