"Well of course it's a wonderful CD with one of my favorite old tunes (those were the days). For cryin out loud this CD is 40 years old and I grew up listening to her. Ops, guess you know I must somewhere north of 40."

Greatest hits of this wonderful Welsh singer.

"Mary Hopkin was the most successful of the Beatles' Apple Records artists. THOSE WERE THE DAYS and the

Paul McCartney penned GOODBYE are both included in this package as well as the British hit TEMMA HARBOUR.

As she was McCartney's discovery (with a referral by British model Twiggy), McCartney helped choose material, create arrangements, and play on some cuts. Hopkin has a delicate voice which works beautifully with these

selections (check out the cover version of the Doris Day hit QUE SERA, SERA). Hopkin is at heart a folk singer and there are fine examples of that genre on the disc as well. If you liked Hopkin's voice on her hits, this is the

perfect collection to introduce you to her many styles."
