Tottenham-born O'chi Brown was discovered by a Trojan Records producer at the age of 17. She made her name in the early 80s with a string of Lovers Rock covers, ranging from Bob Marley to "Auld Lang Syne", "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and "Unchained Melody". In 1985, the single `Why Can't We Be Friends?' marked a move towards a more upbeat pop sound and secured O'chi a deal with Magnet Records for an album to be recorded at Pete Waterman's newly-established PWL Studios. "O'chi" was followed in 1987 by a second Magnet LP, "Light The Night", O'chi's last album to date.

Original Vinyl of "O'chi" are amongst the most sought-after of all PWL-related releases and often change hands for three-figure sums. Now the album becomes the latest in a long line of Hit Factory classics to be reissued on Cherry Pop.
