The World Starts Tonight (1977) It's a Heartache (1978)

The World Starts Tonight is the debut album by the Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler released in 1977.

This album was full of indication that Tyler was about to become a huge star. With a mixture of country and pop infused in the production, this album led to a future teaming with Jim Steinman after her time with Scott and Wolfe ended.

Special tracks on the album are cover versions of Piece of My Heart and Love of a Rolling Stone, the only tracks not co-written by the producers.
