One of those albums that somehow sounds better now I have the original LP. Very nice late 60s pop/bossa; far more varied than I remembered it. Most well known for the storming percussion on the final track, 'I like London in the rain' (an appropriate song for today, incidentally).

   A fantastic site on a great, often neglected singer. The site features a pretty comprehensive discography, with cover scans, track listings, and enthusiastic descriptions.
