I recently bought this CD as a replacement for my very worn out LP that I bought in 1972. It took me awhile to find the CD so when it finally arrived I was ecstatic. Mary's voice and her style of singing captured my heart all those years ago. I never tire of her. As for the CD, six songs have been added to the original eleven heard on the LP. If I have only one complaint it is that the order of the original songs have been jumbled up. I don't see why this was done. Obviously, it would not upset a new listener's ear. It is only a niggle after all. All her songs are sung with that crystal clear voice of hers. All are evocative in their own way, bittersweet and haunting. She has been catagorised as being "twee" but I beg to differ. Of the orginal eleven songs on the CD, 'The Fields of St.Etienne' is a tale of a lover lamenting her lover going to war. I would hardly class that as being twee. There is something very sad about 'Knock knock Who's There'. It has a joyful tempo but it's about loneliness. Mary is very good at expressing the human condition through her lovely voice. Maybe the angelic quality of her voice takes away some of the seriousness of the subject matter but only people listening to her superficially would think that. I take her work and her artistic ability very seriously. I did not know what to expect of the newer songs. I certainly was plesantly surprised to find them just as enjoyable as the older ones. I think she sings 'Streets of London' with more conviction that Ralph McTell. There is one little treasure called 'When I am Old One Day'. It has never been released until now. It is bittersweet without being morbid and in keeping with Mary's style. I love it. Songs like 'Silver birch and weeping willow' and 'Water,paper & clay' appeal to the pagan inside of me, however, as always, Mary is at her best singing about what makes us human - the frailities of love, life and death. I don't hear much about her these days. I have the greatest respect for her as a musician and artist and hope that more recent albums and songs will appear by her in the future.
