This has always been one of my favorite female vocal albums. The blend of old time classic songs and more modern pop sung by her bright and very sensitive voice always does it for me. Here she was in very good company. Produced by Paul McCartney with some help from Beatle engineer Geoff Emerick (1945-2018). Paul also contributed guitars and bass, Donovan did some of the guitars and George Martin (1926-2016) penned one of the tracks and pitched in on piano. I've already made a comparison between the UK mono and stereo, showing they were separate mixes https://monolover.blogspot.com/2016/03/mary-hopkinpostcard-sapcor-5-apcor-5-uk.html . This US was stereo only though with enough differences to the UK to make it worth a separate post. Here "Someone To Watch Over Me" was omitted and replaced with her first and biggest hit "Those Were The Days" (in mono). I do like her version of STWOM, yet have to admit that small change of tracking makes it a little better listening . The audio on both UK formats was immaculate and this isn't far behind. It comes somewhat softer and a tiny bit less clear, but very wide and embracing and sweeet to the ears. Issued and reissued on all possible formats all over the world through the years. First US had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover. (ÄPLÄ*) (FÄV*) (YZÄ*) (GJÅ*)
