• Track Listing

There is a reason for this... THE FIRST TIME... FOR THE LAST TIME is collection of demos a then-unknown Shania Twain recorded in the late 1980s and early 1990s for Canadian label Limelight Records. Written in collaboration with Los Angeles producer Paul Sabu, the songs here... not country music, but rather well-crafted, energetically performed pop/rock fare. Though the production is often dated (recorded in the 1980s and early 1990s), the tracks definitely offer repeated glimpses of Twain's superstar potential. There are even a few country-tinged numbers ("Bite My Lip," "Luv Eyes") that presage Twain and Mutt Lange's multi-platinum Nashville/arena rock hybrids. Though recordings contained herein have been made available in several other forms, this package goes the extra mile by offering both the original recordings and significantly re-mixed/remastered versions on two different discs. Presented here is the Canadian version of the CD, available for the first time in the USA.
