i have been wondering for a while now why amy seems to have never performed any of the material from her "frank" album...i know that she changed a lot, the fact that she said she wasn't 100 percent behind it, and she also said that she doesn't even have a copy of her first album in her house...

She also played Pumps and Cherry, I think the last I know she played them was during her tour in Europe in late '07.

I like her playing Pumps and Cherry live, and I.H.L.I.B and Take The Box
:) some good live performances and demos on Frank Deluxe CD

I'd preffer any Frank era tracks over the ska covers anytime. Frank is just bloody good, some tracks on it are pure gems.

^"After the release of the album, Winehouse commented that she was "only 80 percent behind [the] album" because of the inclusion by her record label of certain songs and mixes she disliked. Upon the release of her second album, she stated "I can’t even listen to Frank any more — in fact, I’ve never been able to. I like playing the tracks live because that’s different, but listening to them is another story." She later clarified this, saying: "I listen to it differently now. I am still really proud of it, I still think it's a great album. But, with hindsight, there are some things I would have done differently... Just because I would do things a bit differently now doesn't mean I don't like what's on that album."" - http://en.wikipedia....i/Amy_Winehouse

Thank you ! :)

This article is really interesting, I haven't read so many stuff about Frank, before Back to Black. And this girl is amazing. I still wonder if it's courage or recklessness. How can you be so honest without thinking of consequences. When you're young most of people (including me!) just try to fit in, and don't have enough confidence to hold their opinions like this especially in front of a record company ...
I am impressed actually, she must have felt so free at that time.
