Take My Time is the debut album by UK pop singer Sheena Easton. Released in January 1981, the album reached #17 in the UK and earned her a Gold Disc. Two months later, a ten track version of the album was released in the USA and Canada as Sheena Easton. The album went gold in the USA and platinum in Canada. Background & Legacy After becoming suddenly famous due to her appearance on a television documentary in 1980 and with the hits "9 To 5" (which went gold) and "Modern Girl", Easton began recording her debut album with producer Christopher Neil. Easton later said that working with Neil was a great idea, remarking "They didn't just go: 'Right, just go sing Over the Rainbow or some cover', they brought in this top producer for me to work with". She says that although she didn't write the material on the album, Neil had a good ear for hit records and would send her tapes of songs from which she would decide which ones to record, "so I had a part in picking the hits, but I'm also guilty of picking the ones that were rubbish!" The style of the album was a combination of pure pop (e.g. "Take My Time" and "Voice on the Radio") and dramatic ballads ("When He Shines" and "Calm Before the Storm"). Of the other tracks recorded, Easton had already performed "When He Shines" at the Royal Variety Performance in November 1980, while "Prisoner" was a cover of a Sue Saad and the Next song released earlier in 1980. The album's opening track, "Don't Send Flowers" had recently been released as a single by British band Sailor, but had been unsuccessful. The album charted in February 1981, just as Easton was finding fame in the US when "9 to 5" (retitled "Morning Train (Nine to Five)" to avoid confusion with a record by Dolly Parton called "9 To 5") took her to No. 1 in the charts there. In the UK, the album met with favourable response by reaching No. 17 and spent 19 weeks on the charts. In the US, it was released two months later and also made the top 30. By May 1981, three more singles were released from the collection, namely "One Man Woman", "Take My Time" and "When He Shines". With four of the singles reaching the top 20 in the UK
