Mary Hopkin's CD album Post Card
Some of the songs featured are rather disappointing. Hopkin's voice is too thin to carry off numbers like Love Is The Sweetest Thing, and Show Business and Young Love. The awful tinny sound of the percussion accompaniment in Prince en Avignon really spoils the song. The nostalgia I get from Hopkin is still there with numbers like Those Were The Days and Happiness Runs. The Italian and Spanish versions of Those Were The Days seem superfluous because she performs it in exactly the same way as the English version.

A Gem Of The Late Sixties
Discovered by Paul McCartney, this Welch folk singer was taken under the wing of The Beatles' Apple Records. This album contain's three Donovan songs (two very rare) , a song by George Martin, and of course her big hit "Those Were The Days". Included in the bonus tracks are two foriegn verions of the hit and the rare B-side "Turn, Turn, Turn". Every song is strong.
