Wanted: Kirsty MacColl info

I've seen mention of Kirsty MacColl here before, but never really had much
idea of what she sounded like.  However, I liked the "Walking Down Madison"
track enough to buy the CD-single.  The "Ye Olde Original Mix" (is this the
one on _Electric Landlady_?) is even better than the single mix... tons of
wailing Marr guitars, great rhythm section (live drums?!), the works.  And Ms. 
MacC has a wonderful voice.  Great, great stuff (so far, he said cautiously).

Anyway, now I'm in the position of wondering if the rest of the new album
sounds utterly unlike the single, or what?  I haven't heard _Kite_ or any-
thing else she's done, either.  I only know that the one track that I've
heard (in 224 remixes %) is dangerously catchy... can someone give me some 
pointers?
