In 1995, she sang back-up vocals with Sinéad O'Connor for one of Dusty Springfield's last television appearances, singing "Where Is a Woman to Go? And it should never be underestimated with the passing of time, just how truly influential considered and modern that this "Alf" album and the songs contained therein, were. The success of Alf would soon make Moyet resentful as she felt the album's mass market appeal had defined her before she had the chance and experience to properly decide the direction she wanted to take her solo career in.

We have made an album mindless of industry mores that apply to middle-aged women and have shunned all talk of audiences, demographics and advert jazz covers. All tracks are written by Alison Moyet, Steve Jolley and Tony Swain, except "Invisible" by Lamont Dozier No. Scored and produced by Moyet's neighbour (and Academy Award winner) Anne Dudley, the album was later re-issued with a bonus track, "Alfie".She was involved in a number of punk rock, pub rock and blues bands in the South East Essex area during the late 1970s and early 1980s, including the Vandals, [4] the Screamin' Ab Dabs, the Vicars and the Little Roosters [4] (the latter featuring Garrie Lammin, formerly of Cock Sparrer). In 1983, shortly before the release of their second studio album, You and Me Both (1983), Yazoo announced that they were splitting up. I fell out with Alf because I felt like that, after making subsequent records, it was like walking down the street and being told, 'I liked you better when you were going out with him. On 16 October 2013, Moyet appeared as a guest performer on ITV 1's The One and Only Cilla Black celebrating Cilla Black's 50 years in show business. On 27 September 2016, it was announced that Moyet's first four studio albums Alf, Raindancing, Hoodooo and Essex would be reissued as Deluxe editions after having been remastered by BMG on 25 November 2016.

In an interview with Touchbase the following June, Moyet confirmed that she was still recording her album and that she was not rushing it. Moyet appeared with Heather Peace in January 2012 on the final concert of Peace's first studio album, Fairytales. Its doubtless that in 32 years time many many people will still be enjoying, singing, crying and loving to this 'Alf' album, and by then the generic overuse of the term "80's" in all its despiseable condesension and put down tone, will have long since dissapeared and the music shall once more be evaluated for what it is,for what it Was and what it will continue to be forever more, excellent likeable acceptable Timeless good music and song, sang by a Real singer that the world still needs so badly to blow away the blues . Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary. At the age of 20, Moyet's mainstream pop career began in 1982 with the formation of the synthpop duo Yazoo with former Depeche Mode member Vince Clarke.Music technology at that time had moved on to a very large extent, sound sampling was now de-riguer sample play back devices such as drum machines and synths, along with new digital recording equipment such as SSl and mitsubishi and mcl recording consoles were all becoming the norm way to make music via Fairlight CMI, Synclavier, Linn drum, yamaha dx7 etc etc, and all this meant that the sound of the music we were hearing would never be the same.
