If any have been wondering about the content of these archive recordings, all i can say is that if you liked "Earth Song Ocean Song", you're gonna enjoy most if not all of this stuff. Recently ordered all three, "Valentine", "Recollections" and "Now and Then". Could not be more pleased. Whereas Tony Visconti produced most of the tracks on all 3 cds, most of it really does sound like a continuation from ESOS. The cover choices are excellent, and there are 9 tracks or so over the 3 cds written by Mary. None of these are ragtag affairs, "unfinished production" types, all worthy of release and sounding mahvalous.
But perhaps the coolest item is the cd of a 1972 live concert, backed by the guys from ESOS with T.V. conducting a string quartet backing. Decent enough sound, and wonderful performance.
A bit pricey, but for any serious Mary Hopkin fan, essential.
