Mary Hopkin Rare OZ WRC Edition LP Post card EX S5661 Folk Rock Paul McCartney
OZ Reissue LP released in 1974 on World Record Club Records. cat: S5661. Features unique Australian only cover art.
Paul McCartney produced this debut album of twee but pretty, romantic pop-folk. Besides The highlights are Donovan's "Lord of the Reedy River" and "The Honeymoon Song," which McCartney himself had sung with the Beatles way back in 1963 on the BBC. If there's a fault to be found, it's that there's too high a percentage of pre-rock/pop standards à la "There's No Business Like Show Business." As it turns out this was more due to the leanings of McCartney than Hopkin, who preferred the more simply arranged folk numbers such as the Donovan covers and the Welsh "Y Blodyn Gwyn." Also on board is a rather nice composition, "The Game," by Beatles producer George Martin, who contributed some piano and orchestra conducting to the album.
Tracks : Lord of the reedy river/ Happiness runs/ Love is the sweetest thing/ Y blodyn Gwen/ The honeymoon song/ The puppy song/ Inch worm/ Voyage of the moon/ Lullbay of the leaves/ Young love/ Those were the days/ Prince en Avignon/ The game/ There's no business like show business.
