Product Description
CD Description
2010 digital remaster of the classic Mary Hopkin album.
Mary's second album originally issued in November, 1971 was musically closer to her ‘roots'. Produced by (her later husband) Tony Visconti, Earth Song Ocean Song is a beautiful album with contributions from Ralph McTell, Dave Cousins (Strawbs) and Danny Thompson (Pentangle) among others.
In this 2010 edition includes three bonus tracks: the B-side "Kew Gardens", "When I am Old One Day" (previously a bonus track on the Those Were The Days album) and "Let My Name Be Sorrow", the A-side from 1971.

This is Mary's highly acclaimed but much overlooked 1971 follow up to her Apple Records debut 'Postcard' and for me stands head and shoulders above its predecessor.
The album, produced by her then husband Tony Visconti, boasts some of the best singer songwriters of the day, including Ralph McTell, Cat Stevens and Gallagher & Lyle. Mary's interpretations of Ralph's 'Silver Birch & Weeping Willow' and bonus cut `Kew Gardens' are exquisite. The combination of Mary's pure voice and acoustic arrangements is close to perfection.
If you liked the hits 'Those Were The Days' or 'Think About Your Children' then you will love this album which shows there is definitely "something about Mary ......."
The album is nicely packaged with original artwork and extensive sleeve notes and a welcome taster for Mary's first recording of new material in over 20 years, called `You Look Familiar', which has just been released on MHM records. I'm pleased to say she is sounding better than ever and keeping things bang up to date with this long overdue album produced by her son Morgan Visconti.

This is Mary at her wonderful best, with her crystal clear voice perfectly suited to the folk orientated songs on this underrated, underplayed album. Cat Stevens, Ralph McTell, Gallagher & Lyle songs; producer Tony Visconti.
Personally, I think including pop songs would have been a mistake, as this album reflects Mary's choice of music at that time -similar to the B sides of some of her hits - so it's perfect as it is.
Thirty years on, it sounds as fresh as ever. Buy it! (Also consider her 2010 album with son Morgan Visconti - different but equally enjoyable)

Nice to finally have this well remastered album on CD! This certainly is her best album on Apple. Very nice production from Tony Visconti. Great songs. Nice playing. What more could you want ? Well......... altough the bonustracks are very nice indeed, where's the 'knock knock who's there' single from the same period? It's also not available as a digital download. So shame on apple for this missed opportunity.
In the meantime: enjoy this album as much as possible!
