Superpinkymandy is an album by Beth Orton, released in 1993. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 14 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “She Cries Your Name”, on 14 lists with a best position of #35.
Superpinkymandy is where Beth Orton's recording life began, though she'd rather you started somewhere else. Released in 1993 on EMI as a limited Japan-only pressing of about 5000 copies, the debut was made hand in glove with William Orbit, her boyfriend at the time, and it leans into electronica and dance grooves with a trip-hop hush, rather than the folk-meets-electronics blend that would become her calling card.
Orton tends to wave it off in interviews, pointing to 1996's Trailer Park as her real first record, and its scarcity has left it a prized find for collectors. Two of its songs, "Don't Wanna Know 'bout Evil" and "Where Do You Go", resurfaced on the Pass in Time collection, the former her take on John Martyn's "Don't Want to Know" from Solid Air.
