A compilation was required as an introduction to lead the release campaign. This is it. My love songs are often hidden by the more epic things I attempt. It's been a long time ambition of mine to gather a dynamic mix of them together in just their own context. It was a rewarding labour of love for me! The two albums presented here contain songs specially selected from their original records and digitally re-mastered to work as two dynamically unique albums in their own right. We've added a digital booklet including notes, lyrics and photos. Hope you enjoy it. roy Reviews...
