This release features previously unreleased BBC sessions from 1989 through 1995. The edition contains liner notes by Kirsty Maccoll.

The 15-track BBC Sessions compilation WHAT DO PRETTY GIRLS DO? broke a nearly five-year silence for Kirsty MacColl, and while there's little new material here, the pleasures of this album are enough for any MacColl fan. Kirsty MacColl has possibly the finest female voice in the history of pop music, but her studio records, especially the 1985-94 stretch produced by ex-husband Steve Lillywhite, are usually downright Spector-esque in their extravagance, with multiple Kirstys singing exquisitely elaborate harmonies over kitchen-sink arrangements.

The stripped-down live in the studio cuts here give MacColl's incredible voice room to breathe, and the results reveal new facets to the songs. Especially, it becomes even clearer that among her many assets--singing talent, famous parents, incredible beauty--Kirsty MacColl's biggest strength is that she's a songwriter of the first order. Two duets with Billy Bragg are among the album's highlights, but every song is a treasure. Essential for Kirsty fans.
