Do you sleep? - Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories

The follow-up to 'Stay (I missed you)' was 'Do you sleep?'. It was taken from Loeb's debut album 'Tails'. The album was co-produced by Juan Patiño, her then longtime boyfriend. Although none of the singles from Tails matched the breakthrough appeal of 'Stay', Loeb still managed a top 20 hit in America with this single. In the UK, it only managed a placing at number 45.

The single was released as a limited edition picture disc 7", which was an appealing proposition to me. Still, the single didn't interest me that much, so it was also the last Lisa Loeb purchase I ever made.

My collection: 7" single no. 2483
Found: October 29, 1995
Cost: 1,3 pounds
Tracks: 'Do you sleep?' / 'Birds', 'When all the stars were falling'

Stay (I missed you) - Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories

Lisa Anne Loeb was born March 11, 1968 in Bethesda, Maryland (USA). She started her career in 1994 with the song 'Stay (I Missed You)'. The song was originally named 'Stay', but at the time it was getting popular, there were several popular songs with 'Stay' in the title, such as the U2 song 'Stay (Faraway, So Close!)'. '(I Missed You)' was tacked on to the end to differentiate it from the others.

The single became a number 1 hit in America and peaked at number 6 in the UK singles chart.

My collection: 7" single no. 2160
Found: HMV, London, September 26, 1994
Cost: 2 pounds
Tracks: 'Stay (I missed you)' / 'Stay (I missed you) (Living room mix)'
