The MAX SHARAM Discography

A Million Year Girl - Album
Released in the US in 1996, A Million Year Girl comes with some beautiful cover artwork. On the front is a photo of Max (naked again) with a gorgeous ocean/gorge-scape behind her and a wooden doll house in front. The inner sleeve opens out as if you are opening the doors into the doll house - it then transferring you into a fantastic and mysterious kingdom. The album contains the following tracks:

¥   1. Be Firm [3:47]
¥   2. Coma [3:43]
¥   3. Purple Flower [4:19]
¥   4. Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) [4:01] - A Melanie Safka cover
¥   5. Is It OK If I Call You Mine? [2:59] - From the movie "Fame"
¥   6. A Toast To... [0:18]
¥   7. Jezu's Jewellery [4:00]
¥   8. Huntinground [4:29]
