We are more excited than you can imagine about the fact that we can bring you our reissue of this album. Say No More (1971) and Fathoms Deep (1974) also coming soon...

I just heard Lark for the first time last year when I bought a copy after reading some good reviews. Very nice album. I might be interested in a remaster if the sound is much improved, although the copy I have sounds OK (Collector's Choice, I think.)

Wow, never heard of her before. Just went to allmusic.com to check her out. The Lark album is fabulous, love the acoustic guitars and the chord changes. Don't care much for the later disco period, but will definitely be getting some of these, thanks for the hot tip !!

All 3 albums listed here are the ones to get. "Say No More" will be on CD for the 1st time.

I have the Collectors Choice versions of "Lark" and "Fathoms Deep" from a few years ago, so I want to hear if these are big improvements before buying.
