Background


For Stages (1983), Paige had chosen tracks from musical theatre. Following this theme, this album featured songs that had been previously recorded for soundtracks.

Tim Rice wrote lyrics to Vangelis's theme for the film Missing specifically for this album.


Production


Cinema was the second of Paige's recordings to be produced by Tony Visconti.

Like Stages, the recording was primarily conducted at Visconti's Good Earth Studios, other than for "Sometimes" (Theme from Champions) which had been previously recorded at CTS Studios, London featuring the New World Philharmonia.


Out-Takes


In 2014, Rhino UK released on the compilation album Elaine Paige - The Ultimate Collection[3] the out-take "What A Feeling" (from the musical 'Flashdance') which was originally recorded as part of the 'Cinema' album sessions.
