''Tell Me on a Sunday'' was the first solo album released by Marti Webb. All tracks were written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black and told the story of an English girl who has emigrated to the United States and embarks on a succession of romances. The music later formed the first half of a stage show called ''Song and Dance'', in which Webb also starred. ==Background== As well as composing the piece, Lloyd Webber also arranged and produced the album. Released in 1980, having been recorded in the latter part of 1979, it was one of his first pieces of work to be published by his own Really Useful Company, which he had formed three years earlier. The musicians were mainly those that had been involved with the Variations. American musical theatre actress Elaine Stritch performed a cameo role as an answering service attendee on the track "Capped Teeth and Caesar Salad". The first single to be released, "Take That Look Off Your Face" reached No.3 in the UK chart in February 1980, while the title track was a minor hit some months later.〔(Chartstats.com | "Take That Look Off Your Face" Chart details )〕〔(Chartstats.com | "Tell Me on a Sunday" single - Chart details )〕 The album itself was one of the biggest selling albums of the year, when it reached No.2, spending 23 weeks on the chart - 8 of them in the top 10.〔(Chartstats.com | ''Tell Me on a Sunday'' Chart details )〕 The album was re-issued on Compact disc in 1993.〔(Allmusic - ''Tell Me on a Sunday'' )〕 The songs on the album were recorded live in 1982 and released as ''Song and Dance'' with some additions.〔(Broadwayworld.com | ''Song and Dance'' album credits )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tell Me on a Sunday (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
