I have to thank the album designer for introducing me to Linda. When I was a kid I had ambitions to be an album designer, so I bought this in a charity shop to copy the cover; and whilst drawing it I had the record on. Then I put down my crayons, stretched out on the bedroom floor, rested my head on my hands, listened, and drifted pleasantly off. Decades later the wings of my ambition may have been clipped, but "Lark" still carries me. It was the same experience with Lou Reeds "Transformer", and I like to imagine Linda and Lou singing "Perfect Day".
+itgetseasierlessitry May I say, you have impeccable taste sir. I`ve been a fan of both since first hearing as a young teen in the early 70`s. Linda`s sweet soul... notes that I`d never heard sung a New York Lou`s dark street poetry. Sublime talent!
I've been playing this album since it was new. Vinyl, cd, mp3 and now inlayer. Still as good, still inspires me and relaxes me all in one go. Love it. I first discovered Linda Lewis singing "Little Indians", the last track on this record, at the end of an all day, outdoor, concert at The Oval cricket ground in London in the early 70s. Great atmosphere and a great way to discover this talent that is far better then her fame. xxx
can you believe I have never heard of this woman until about a week ago and I discovered her by accident. I love her early music. I'm 57 years old and I'm just now discovering her. great music
This has been one of my all-time favorite albums for over 43 years now. It kept me alive during my last year in the army and has probably seen more late night turns on my turntable while doing yoga than any of the other 4,000 records I have (with the possible exceptions of Nick Drake's "5 Leaves Left" and Van's "Moondance." I even have an autographed picture of Linda that arrived five years after I sent her a fan letter in c/o Reprise Records. Thanks Linda for all the wonderful music and I've done my best over the years to introduce your oeuvre to an American market notorious for its obtuseness.
My first LP ,purchased after hearing Spring Song played during BBC2 closedown at the end of daily transmission, before the epilogue. yes they did that sort of thing back then, the 40 years that have now passed have done nothing to diminish this albums magic, and i am still no nearer finding out if there is anymore of the LIVE recording that the lovely closer, Little Indians came from, which remains my favourite LL track .
