This album is available for download by clicking the picture. We are planning to remaster and re-release the album early in Somehow this got recorded and we released the album in We sent it for remastering, removing Mary's spoken intro, and have included it here.
Some hiss exists, we can't do much about it but we are very glad to hear Mary sing live. Tony transcribed Richard Hewson's original Apple arrangements. He played the bouzouki to represent the original cymbalom. The children's choir were represented by Mary and Suzy Lynch, who were sped up to sound much younger. The recordings were made for compilations, and were contracted to K-Tel, released on tapes, vinyl and even 8-track at the time.
However, since the emergence of CDs and digital releases, the two tracks have appeared on numerous compilations, and all out of contract and unauthorised, meaning that Mary and others on the re-recordings do not get royalties. To avoid long and costly legal action, Mary Hopkin Music released these two tracks digitally in , with new artwork by Mary to identify them, and they are available on all download and streaming services the ones that pay royalties!
Of course Apple have re-released the original albums and recordings in recent years and their releases are, of course, legitimate and authorised.
